Great article. I just wanted mention a few things on why injuries may occur. Stay hydrated – When we exercise, especially in hotter than usual climates, our bodies gives out tons of fluid. We have to maintain replacement of those lost fluids by constantly staying hydrated. If not, our body will not recovery properly, in result, leading to preventable injuries. Having hydration is one thing, eating a healthy meal before and after yields greater recovery results. Why? It helps replenish the energy as well as providing protein to reconstruct and mend corrupted muscle tissues. If this process of eating is compromise, a result of being fatigue and injured are at greater risk of happening.

Sincerely,

Jonathan

When an injury occurs, it is important to not only treat the symptoms but also to find what is the root of the problem, so hopefully none of the above develop. Thank you for your comment!

In my practice I find quite often that many athletes suffering from ham issues often have inhibited glutes and really tight peroneals. Any athlete that needs to run or push off powerfully ie: hip extension, its an absolute must that their glutes are not only activating, that they are strong as well. Easiest way to test is in prone. knee bent 90/90 push foot to ceiling and match their pressure to test.ideally both feet go up equally and are able to match your muscle test. If not, you can look to a stuck rotated sacrum , tight hip int/ext rotation, and or pelvic asymmetry.
