Spring Sports Around The Corner, Is Your Body Ready?
Our Totowa & Fort Lee Physical Therapists can help!
Spring sports are around the corner. The question is, is your body ready? Have you been sedentary this winter or have you been active? Are your muscles ready to work? Many people retreat from strenuous activities during the winter months and then burst out of the starting gate at the first sign of warmer temperatures and greener grass. Our Physical Therapists offer a great resource for starting spring sports the correct & non-damaging way. Avoid injury and prepare your body for this spring weather!
Getting Physically Ready For Spring Activities
Stretching has long been thought of as an important precursor to exercise, certainly a way to get muscles limber. Often times we think of yoga as stretching. While this is true, you certainly can’t just dive into complex poses without risking injury. The same is true with spring sports. The important thing to do is to prepare the muscles needed for any given activity. Stretching before strenuous activities is a great way to get your body ready for exercise.
In the same vein as stretching is starting with a lower level of activity such as walking briskly. You may think your body is more capable than it is during this transition from sedentary to active. As a result, easing into an active lifestyle is extremely important. Get in touch with one of our leading Physical Therapists to create a plan that makes sense for you and your fitness goals. Physical Therapy and Sports Care is available at both of our locations now!
Take Your Time Getting Active Again!
Fitness is not a zero to 100 in five seconds type of thing. If you have not been active all winter you should develop a plan to prepare for your seasonal sport of choice. Plan to use an Athletic Trainer or Physical Therapist to develop a plan that will help you get back to the level of activity you once were used to! Working on your boy’s posture and alignment can be a helpful first step. The physical therapists at Elite Spine and Sports Care focus on body alignment and muscular preparation to get you operating at your peak performance level.
