Sports Injuries – Physical Therapy in Farmingdale

In order to win and play at your highest level this spring sports season, you’ll need to prevent injuries. This may seem challenging because injuries can occur at any time, however, there are many preventative measures you can take. At Farmingdale Physical Therapy East we can help you stay healthy and injury-free all season by providing sports injury rehabilitation in Farmingdale, NY. Here are some tips we recommend:

• Wearing the correct and properly fitting equipment. Equipment that does not fit or protect you in the way it should is a common way an injury can occur.

• Stretching before training or games. Dynamic stretches are the best way to warm-up your muscles before getting active. Your muscles need to be prepared prior to use otherwise you are at risk for not only poor performance but muscle tears as cold muscles have the propensity to get injured.

• Stretching after being active is also just as important, as this aids in muscle repair.

• Using the correct technique. Making sure that you are using proper form and motioning will help you prevent injury.

• Schedule recovery time. Overexerting your body can cause injuries due to the fact that your muscles may become weakened by constant use. Make sure to keep one rest day in your schedule a week.

• Remember to ice muscles. If you are feeling sore or in pain, take a break. Be sure to ice the muscles to help reduce the pain or swelling that is happening.

If you want to succeed and play well this spring sports season you need to be healthy and injury-free on the field.
