🏀🤼 Winter Sports Season Is Here!
As students transition into basketball and wrestling, it’s the perfect time to focus on keeping their bodies moving well, performing strong, and staying injury-free.
At Premier Physical Therapy, we see firsthand how the change in sports demands can place new stress on the body. Here are a few key tips to help athletes move their best this season:
🔥 Warm Up with Purpose
Dynamic warm-ups—like leg swings, lunges, and light cardio—prepare joints and muscles for explosive movement.
💪 Build a Strong Foundation
Winter sports place high demands on the core, hips, and shoulders. Strengthening these areas improves balance, power, and control.
🧊 Don’t Skip Mobility
Tight hips, ankles, and thoracic spine can limit performance and increase injury risk. Daily mobility work keeps movement smooth and efficient.
📆 Recover Intentionally
Stretching, proper hydration, and rest days help athletes stay consistent throughout the season.
If your student-athlete needs support, movement assessment, or help addressing pain or tightness as the season ramps up, Premier Physical Therapy is here to help them stay strong and confident all winter long.
