7 Easy Ways To Prevent Injuries On Your Own Your physiotherapist will conduct a physical evaluation to determine the severity of your sprain or strain injury. Through a thorough assessment, your therapist will be able to pinpoint precisely what is causing your pain. We will provide constant feedback and allow refinement of your program to ensure it provides optimal results. In addition, your therapist will instruct you on the most effective injury prevention strategies, including: 1. Sleep is the most effective strategy with the most significant effect on injury prevention and sports enhancement. 2. Strength training is one of the most effective injury prevention strategies to help stay injury-free. 3. Dynamic warm-ups (i.e., stretching while moving and sports-specific movements) are an effective way to warm up tissue without negatively affecting performance and may lead to fewer injuries. 4. Nutrition is the foundation for good health and injury prevention. Specifically, a scientifically-backed approach that does not include any fad diets. Recovery meals are as crucial as pre-game meals. 5. Hydration is essential for recovery and injury prevention.
6. Stay within your abilities. It is vital to train and practice any physical activity by starting small and building up from there. 7. Use the proper equipment. Make sure you have the right equipment, for example, running shoes, hiking boots, helmets, and pads. The right equipment can help you avoid injury and stay safe while doing the activities you enjoy.
