Why so Many Injuries?

Welcome everyone and let's get started...physical therapy  has become the hot occupation...thanks in large degree to muscle pulls and stress fractures. And due to us...yes, we are the large contributors. Pro athletes and Seniors also are guilty. OK why? Lack of prep time, body education, lack of know how, show off and there are more of us into fitness. How to limit/prevent injuries. Include BALANCE drills on a daily basis. Working  your entire body with emphasis on foot drills. Gradually moving from flat terrain to hills, sand and water. Jumping...if you land flat footed, you add weight to the foot and cause undue stress. NO, I do not agree that because we jump higher and we are stronger...that's what causes fractures. When we first learn to jump, why don't I hear about stress fractures or muscle pulls? Vary your fitness drills and cause muscle confusion. Don't fall victim to muscle memory. Training on hills (about 30 ft. elevation) and sand has helped 100's of men and women avoid injuries. I can attest to that. I have trained 1,000"s of men and women of all ages in my "Balance Your Life" classes. Happy Landing. Jimmy O www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com.
