Prevent Sports Injury in Kids

Prevent Sports Injury in Kids

Did you know that millions of kids actively participate in sport, athletics, friendly games. In some countries, sports injuries to young people exceeds the occurrence of infectious disease.

It is important to do what you can to avoid preventable injury in children playing sport.

  • Proper Preparation to participate in a sport
  • Make sure your child is fit to play, with warm ups and training
  • be sufficiently hydrated - water
  • should know at least the basics of the game
  • has an appropriate level of movement and flexibility
  • has rest periods appropriate for their fitness and stamina
  • advises if an injury has occurred
  • gets the appropriate check up if a bump to the head or other injury has occurred

If as a parent you feel your child could do with some assistance for spine or musculo-skeletal issues which are impacting their ability to participate in sport, we would like to help. Our Chiropractors at Greensborough Family Chiropractic, in Greensborough, Banyule, Melbourne may be able to assist. Fitness may help prevent injury in athletics, soccer, tennis, basketball, football, netball and other sports. Dr Mark was the AFL team chiropractor for the AFL premiership team in 2009, he has an interest in sporting performance and sports injury rehab.

 

Everyone should have a healthy, active lifestyle and here is why.

Lets see what makes you fit and healthy.

Health

Health is defined as an organisms ability to FUNCTION optimally. That means for your body to be healthy your musculoskeletal, nervous, lympathic, cardiovascular, digestive, hormonal, metabolic systems all need to be functioning optimally.

Active/Fitness

Fitness is the ability of a person to perform an athletic activity without injuring themselves, this can be anything from a yoga pose, to lifting heavy objects, to competing in athletics, triathlons or various sports.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic believes that when there are problems in the musculoskeletal system (most commonly the spine) this leads to dysfunction which can affect your fitness for sport.

Therefore if you have problems in your spine it affects your health and therefore your ability to perform athletic activities. So to be fit and healthy, includes having a balanced diet, exercising, reducing stress, not harming your body (with smoke or alcohol) but it also means having an optimised musculoskeletal system (spine) so you can move and function well.
