Top 5 Sports Injury Prevention Tips
Top 5 Sports Injury Prevention Tips from Owings Mills Physical Therapists
Whether you’re training for a local race, playing rec league basketball, or hitting the gym, the last thing you want is an injury to derail your progress. At Rehab 2 Perform® in Owings Mills, we’ve worked with athletes of all levels, and we know the small changes that make a big difference in staying injury-free.
Warm Up with Purpose
Skipping your warm-up is like taking your car on the highway without starting the engine. Dynamic stretches, light cardio, and sport-specific drills prepare your muscles and joints for action.
Focus on Mobility and Flexibility
Tight muscles limit range of motion and put you at risk for strains. Incorporate foam rolling, yoga, or targeted stretching into your routine at least 3–4 times a week. Try our mobility and flexibility tips for inspiration.
Build Balanced Strength
Many injuries come from muscle imbalances. Our Owings Mills sports rehab programs strengthen both primary movers and stabilizers—keeping your body in sync.
Listen to Your Body
Pain is a warning sign, not something to push through. Recognize the difference between workout fatigue and injury symptoms.
Schedule a Performance Assessment
A professional assessment can detect movement flaws before they turn into injuries. At Rehab 2 Perform®, we use performance testing to keep Owings Mills athletes in the game.
From Franklin High School athletes to weekend warriors at Merritt Club Owings Mills, we’ve helped our community move with confidence and avoid downtime.
