5 Ways to Prepare for your Sports Season
Many sports injuries are a result of our bodies not having enough strength, endurance, co-ordination or mobility to cope with the activities and sports we participate in.
1 - Adequate Strength:
- Determine areas you need to be strong for your sport and build your training towards these.
2 - Adequate flexibility:
- Movements in sport often require you to go to the end of range.
3 - Adequate endurance:
- Overuse injuries are often causedby loading the body under fatigue.
4 - Good Core Strength:
- A strong core is essential for all sports, for back health and provide a stable base for your body to perform.
5 - Adequate Proprioception, balance and coordination:
- These are important in all sports, to improve skills and ensure correct biomechanics

Reduce irritation, not movement Bursitis often flares with repeated irritation or overload. This doesn't mean you should stop moving, gentle movement helps maintain confidence and support recovery. Avoid prolonged pressure This may include lying on the sore side, leaning on elbow, or sitting on hard surfaces for long periods. Simple position changes and added support can significantly reduce symptoms. Settle symptom first, then rebuild strength As pain settles, gradual strengthening improves load tolerance and helps prevent flare-ups. Recovery is about building capacity - not just reducing pain.
