Health care to get you back to your best.

As an athlete, how can you reduce your risk of injury?

While no one can completely eliminate injury risk, you can significantly reduce it by:

🔹Progressively increasing your training load
🔹Building strength alongside speed, power and agility
🔹Including plyometric training and change-of-direction drills
🔹Training in multiple planes of movement, not just forwards and backwards
🔹Prioritising recovery, sleep and good nutrition
🔹Listening to early warning signs instead of pushing through pain
🔹Seeing a physiotherapist early before a small problem becomes a major injury

If you are experiencing any warning signs of an injury, be sure to secure an appointment with one of our physios to keep you doing what you love 👉 lakehealthgroup.com.au

You lift heavy. You train consistently. You feel strong.

So why did you still get injured?

It’s one of the most common questions we hear at Lake Health Group. Many athletes and active people assume that getting stronger is the key to preventing injuries. While strength is an important part of performance, it’s only one piece of the puzzle.

The truth is, being strong doesn’t automatically make you injury-proof. Read on via the 🔗👇

It's that time of year again with sports finals in full swing. At this stage of the season, many people are carrying small niggles or pushing themselves just that little bit harder. So here are some top tips for optimal finals preparation.

1. Get new injuries assessed ASAP - Don't take the “wait and see” approach before seeking assistance. Knowing exactly what the problem is and how to manage it gives you the best chance of being on the park for the big game.
2. Don’t train through pain - If you don’t listen to your body it could result in further aggravation or injury, meaning limited performance during games or having to sit on the sidelines.
3. Modify training sessions - Many injuries can be managed effectively by making small adjustments to training sessions to help you find the right balance.
4. Consider muscle release strategies - Manual therapies such as massage, dry needling and foam rollers are all effective techniques for reducing muscle tension which may make you feel better on game day.
5. Take your recovery seriously - Icing sore muscles and joints straight after the game is a must as well as combining low intensity, active recovery the day after you play.

If you are looking for additional assistance to get you up and going for game day, you can book an appointment with us via the 🔗👇 or give us a call on 03 5335 3200.
