Tips For Avoiding Sports Injuries
School is almost back in session and with a new school year comes a new season for sports! Whether your kids play for their school team or an extracurricular rec team, there is always the risk of an injury. Some are fairly minor, such as scrapes and bruises, but some can be serious enough to need medical intervention. Here is a collection of tips that can help keep your kids playing the game they love rather than watching from the sidelines: 1. Get a preseason Physical. Make an appointment with your child’s pediatrician to get a thorough sports Physical before the season starts. A sports Physical can assess any areas that may be a concern for your young athlete, and in turn keep them from exasperating any conditions that may need to be treated. 2. Emphasize the importance of warm-ups. Stretching is important to loosen muscle fibers and increase blood flow to the area. A mix of both static stretches (such as toe touches) and dynamic stretches (such as high-knees) will get your athlete ready to hit the field. 3. Make Sure they are getting enough rest. Muscle fatigue predisposes an athlete to injury, so sleep is critical for your body to restore and rebuild muscle fibers. Make sure your child is also taking a season “off,” as overuse injuries are the most common injuries seen in young athletes. 4. Make sure they are hydrating! Heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke, are a real concern for anyone exercising outside, especially on hot and humid days. Make sure your child is adequately hydrating before, during, and after activity. 5. Make sure they are eating a healthy, well-balanced diet. It is important for athletes to fuel up correctly with a diet that consists of whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Be sure to make time for breakfast, too! Even when following tips and guidelines to the letter, injuries can unfortunately still occur. Be sure to tell your young athlete that the old saying “no pain, no gain” doesn’t apply when it comes to actual injuries. Playing through pain can lead to further damage and a longer healing time, so it is important to address any nagging pains or acute injuries before they turn into something more serious. Your Physical Therapy team at Elite Physical Therapy can help create a plan to treat and prevent injuries by promoting strength training and proper form. Call us today to see how we can help your child succeed this season!
