This is the time of year all athletes should be working on improving technique and becoming more fit and balanced. Sports injuries are the result of forces that become too much for bone or soft tissue to absorb and adapt and therefore cause failure. All sports injuries are the result from an acute or sudden force that is too much for the tissue to overcome (e.g. a sprained ankle or broken bone) or from repetitive forces that overtime create so much stress that the tissues finally fail partially or completely.

 

These are most commonly known as overuse injuries or repetitive motion injuries. It is these types of injuries that most parents, coaches and athletes do not understand or know how to prevent. For this reason these are the types of injuries that we will focus our preventitive techniques on.
