Summer is around the corner and for many of us that means our evenings and weekends will be spent at the beach or on the sports field. Long summer days, watching the kids playing touch rugby or cricket, armed with sun protection, snacks and drinks. Whether it be days at the beach swimming or surfing, watching or participating in outdoor sports, you’ll be preparing for that changeable weather and outdoor environment.
With more physical activity it’s important to remember to properly warm up and take care of your bodies with good nutrition, hydration and rest. Nobody likes to be stuck missing out on the side-lines nursing a sports injury. Some of the most common summer sports injuries include ankle sprains, back injuries and overuse injuries, where we jump back into exercise instead of gradually building up that strength and endurance after the winter months.
