Injury Prevention IS NOT JUST FOR ATHLETES, whether it’s a tweaked back from sleeping in some position your body decided to hate you for, nagging knee pain from going a little too hard at pickleball, or a sprained ankle from reliving the good ol’ days at a concert…. 💩 just happens and it seeeeeeems to happen a lot easier the older we get. On top of that, the recovery from the strains, sprains, and aches seems to take much longer to bounce back from than it used to. This truly does suck to accept, BUT the good news is we can put in some proactive work to help potentially prevent some of these injuries and or set us up to bounce back faster when something does happen.
Muscular strength is a biiiig cornerstone to the world of injury prevention. Injury prevention is always a goal within every athlete’s training program, but it seems like the general population forgets that we all should be focusing on this too. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to be held back from doing the activities that I love and I certainly don’t want to have to slow down everyday regular functioning like walking or getting up and down off the floor. An important part of maintaining the ability to function and move normally is having and maintaining a good amount of muscular strength. This not only applies to now but especially for years down the line.
All my clients, both athletes and the average Janes and Joes ALL include strength training and mobility work in their routines so they can try to prevent any tweaks or strains from holding them back (and allow them to bounce back faster). Muscle isn’t just for show anymore and strength training is certainly not just for athletes anymore either. Injury prevention is for EVERYONE therefore strength training is for everyone.
