Fall & the First Day of School

                        

Today is the unofficial start of fall and the first day of school.  Fall sports will be in full swing before you know it.  These are a few tips to stay healthy and safe as kids fall back into their school/sport routines!

  • Have a pre-season physical examination and have your orthotics checked for size and condition. 
  • Always take the time to warm-up and cool down properly.
  • Stay hydrated to limit cramps. 
  • Be aware of playing surfaces and change shoes accordingly. 
  • Never "play through the pain".  If your body is telling you something is wrong, see a doctor. 
  • Make sure your footwear are properly fitted and in good condition.  You can always bring them in to be checked. 
  • Be aware weather conditions such as wet, slippery fields that can lead to injuries.
  •  Listen to your body and decrease training time and intensity as needed, if pain or discomfort develops. This will reduce the risk of injury and help avoid burning yourself out.
