Keep safety in mind playing summer sports

Summer generally means more time being outdoors, and playing sports outdoors.  Many people we know are also gearing up for fall races.  With all the increased activity comes an increased risk for injury.  Many sports injuries are from overuse or acute trauma.

You are probably already seeing it - people around you with some of the common summer sports injuries:

• runner's knee
• tennis elbow
• tendonitis
• neck and shoulder pain
• back injuries
• rolled ankles

BE PROACTIVE!  Take time to take care and be safe.  You only have one body, treat it with care.  Here are the tips you know and yet might just need to see again:

•  Warm my your body and as a part of that learn the best ways to warm up for your particular sport, it isn't a one size fits all!
• Get the proper equipment, and especially shoes for your sport and level of activity
• Know your limits and mind them
• Hydrate!  Drink plenty of water.  Your tissues should be like a full sponge and not a dried out one on the kitchen sink
• Allow your body time to recover after activity
• Seek expert attention when needed
