PREVENTING INJURIES

The best way to handle an injury is not to get one at all!

Injury prevention is actually pretty easy. Listen to your body and notice when things don’t feel right.

  • If something hurts in a new way, don’t ignore it.
  • If something hurts when you’re doing it, stop what you’re doing.
  • Don’t engage in an activity/game when you’re not feeling well. 
  • Be smart: common injuries happen when a person tries a risky activity.

Overtraining also increases the risk of injury. Watch this 6 minute video from SciFit to learn more: Overtraining and how to deal with it
