HOW OFF-SEASON PREPARATION LEADS TO A SUCCESSFUL SEASON

Do you want to stay injury-free and perform better in the upcoming sports season? Pre-season evaluation and specific programming by an experienced sports medicine practitioner will help you reach new peaks in your athletic career!

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR BEST SEASON YET

1. GET ASSESSED BY A SPORTS MEDICINE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE THE START OF THE SEASON
✔️Heal and address past injuries to prevent recurrence. �The off-season is a GREAT time to work through any of those nagging injuries that you have been noticing. Anything that had to be taped, braced or “extra” stretched in warm-ups needs to be assessed and addressed.
✔️Prevent Injuries that can sideline you during the regular season.

2. BUILD A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR YOUR ATHLETIC SEASON.

The off-season is also a great time to build your foundation, or as trainers often put it – own the basics. Consider the off-season “your foundation”, and your season “the house”. The more work you put into the foundation, the bigger and better the house can become competition season. For athletes in different sports, this will look different.

✔️Use this time to lose weight in the gym and focus on your form again.
✔️We advise runners to swim, ride a bike and lift weights. Football players go to yoga, and baseball players to Pilates.
✔️This is a great time for athletes to go beyond typical workouts and cross-train the body in different planes.
✔️It's also a great time to let your brain rest and enjoy a break outside of the competitive training schedule.

The off-season isn’t completely about physical rebuilding, but the mental as well.

Joe Schwab, co-owner of Schwab’s 2nd Wind, kindly answered some questions regarding buying online versus in the store

👟What are the advantages of being fitted in-person for running shoes?

Joe Schwab: When it comes to being fit in-person versus online there are so many advantages to being fit in person. When talking to our customers we can get an idea of how they’re using the shoes, and their injury history. So many small factors that go into figuring out which brands and models can work best.

👟Is it a good idea to order the same shoe brand and model every time if it was a good fit the first time around?

Joe Schwab: From model to model, brand to brand, and year to year everything fits differently. To assume the same shoe in the same size can work over and over can get you into some trouble without trying them on.

USE THE “FOUR S” PRINCIPLE TO PREVENT RUNNING INJURIES🏃🏻‍♂️

1. SPEED
Speed kills. Well, not necessarily when it comes to running. If you are training for a marathon and you happen to rapidly increase your pace during your runs, then yes, you are likely to increase your risk of injury. However, quite often runners lack variable speed in their training. Doing runs with a slightly increased pace, sprinting, or repeats will often help to avoid injuries by increasing strength in leg musculature.

2. SURFACE
I can’t tell you how many times a runner has come to the office with an injury because they run 70-80 miles per month on the road and then decide they are going to run 5 miles in the trails only to experience either an acute injury from something such as a rolled ankle, or inflammation in a lower extremity joint secondary to an uneven surface. Changing up the surface that you run on will help to activate and engage smaller intrinsic muscles in the legs as well as give you proprioceptive feedback (aka telling your brain where your joints are), thus increasing balance and strength.

3. SNEAKERS
When it comes to running and footwear I have always deferred to the experts and always refer patients to local running stores so they can be properly fitted

4. STRENGTH
I saved the best for last! In my opinion, strength is the most important aspect when it comes to avoiding running injuries. Running is a unilateral sport and at any given point in time either one foot is in contact with the ground, or the body is completely airborne. If there is a deficiency in muscle strength on one side of the body there is potential for injury to that side, or often an overuse type injury on the opposite side. This is where a thorough evaluation comes into play. Looking at a patient from the ground up, including mobility of the ankle, knee, and hip joints, as well as isolating and muscle testing the major muscle groups of the lower extremities is so important. Once these muscle weaknesses or imbalances are identified, a strength program can be developed to help the runner overcome these potentials for injury.
