City Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic Adelaide

When you sustain a sports injury, it usually prevents you from training or participating at your usual level. If your injury isn’t allowed to heal properly, you can develop long term issues or pain that doesn’t go away. Sometimes the longer term consequence of a sports injury that hasn’t been allowed to heal may not become evident until later in your life.

Sports Injury Prevention Tips

If your muscles are tight or tense you predispose yourself to injuries. Proper warm up and up or cool down helps your body to adjust and recover. The cool down time is the best time to work on your flexibility as your muscles are already warmed up.

Get your Biomechanics and body alignment in order

If your body has muscle imbalances, areas of weakness or areas of excessive tightness this will place a lot of strain and tension on parts of your body as it tries to function in a way that it was not designed to do. If you have misalignment one area of your body this will have a negative affect other body parts. Biomechanics or alignment is something that is not necessarily obvious to you yourself.
