Injury Prevention Screening

In recent years the focus of professional teams and athletes has been that prevention is better than cure. This has been enhanced by advances in research that provides us with the information to implement an injury prevention program.

Did you know there are specific risk factors for many sports-related injuries? Several of these can be identified with injury prevention screenings, including the following:

• Poor core stability
• Knee valgus (an inward angle of your knees when you land from a jump)
• Weak hip muscles (especially gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus)
• Muscle group imbalances
• Too much training in one sport year round
• Overload

These are just some of factors that may be leaving you more susceptible to sustaining an injury.

Thorough Examinations
