Injury Prevention for Weekend Warriors
We have the privilege of treating many students, recreational and professional athletes in our clinic. Recreational athletes can be prone to injury, since they typically work during the week, and put in their longest and most intense workouts over the weekend. These sporadic and limited workouts can be strenuous on the body and leave the weekend-only athlete prone to injury. Healthcare professionals call this “Weekend Warrior Syndrome”, seeing common injuries like sprained ankles, muscle strains, shin splints, and tendonitis.
