Play safe: your guide to ACL Injury Prevention
At Back to Bounce, we specialise in ACL injury prevention and rehabilitation. We guide patients through the rehabilitation process to recover from injury and return to high level performance and sport. In the world of sports, agility and strength are key, but so is injury prevention. Among the most dreaded injuries for athletes is an ACL rupture—a setback that can bench you for months or even end a season. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or recreational sportsperson, understanding how to protect your ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is crucial for staying in the game, doing what you love.
Could YOU be overtraining?
Overtraining, defined as training excessively or not recovering from training sufficiently, can affect performance and be a big risk factor for future injury and illness. However, being aware of signs and symptoms of overtraining early can help mitigate risk, preserve performance and keep you or your child active and able to compete in their sport or activity. Sometimes it creeps up on us and before we know it, we have an injury, pain or illness as a result. Early intervention and knowing what signs to look for can greatly increase recovery and reduce risk of injury, if you know what to look for. Rob Kirkby takes us through some common signs of overtraining to watch out for.
