Getting injured is a constant threat in any sport you play, and if they aren’t managed properly, these injuries can become a recurring problem, stopping you from playing and enjoying the sport you love. Injury prevention is key to having full enjoyment and prosperity out of sport, it will ensure that you can achieve your maximum potential in any sport you play, and in your personal life outside of sport where injuries can take a massive toll on your body and wellbeing.
