Our very own Donna White, Titled Olympic Physiotherapist and Practice Director, shares her TOP THREE TIPS for a safe return sport or the gym, post COVID-19 lockdown.
Starting back at sport or exercise post isolation? Do you want to prevent injury for your return to sport? We’ve got you covered!
TOP THREE TIPS for a safe return to sport:
Tip 1:
Start slow and build your intensity and duration of your training, session by session.
Tip 2:
Listen to your body: You may need to take an extra recovery day or spend longer warming up/cooling down as your body adapts back to training.
Tip 3:
Check in with your physiotherapist to discuss any niggling injuries and make sure you are training correctly to avoid new injuries.⠀
