TIPS FOR AVOIDING COMMON ACTIVE INJURIES
drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day, and always keep a water bottle with you when you are working out. • Staying within your abilities. It is important to train and practice for any physical activity you’d like to try. Start small in the beginning and build up from there. When you push your body past its current limits, you make yourself more prone to injuries because your body is not prepared for the physical demands being asked of it. • Using the proper equipment.

This is one of the most important ways to prevent injuries. Stretching increasesmuscle flexibility and prevents them from becoming stiff or tight, thus decreasing the chances of them over-stretching and/or tearing. • Hydrating and eating nutritious meals.

5 STAR REVIEW
“My daughters always looked forward to her treatments with “the foot lady”!” “When we came to Elite Physical Therapy, my daughter was so nervous about seeing a “doctor”. However...she soon came to love coming to her Physical Therapy appointments. Her Elite Physical Therapist was incredibly helpful at making me (mom) feel comfortable and understanding toe walking as well as welcoming to my daughters. My daughters always looked forward to her treatments with “the foot lady”. We are really going to miss Elite!”
