Many injuries appear seemingly out of nowhere and when they are least expected. A shoulder twinge or the inability to bend over can put a serious hindrance on your ability to compete everyday tasks. Inadequate stretching and lack of strength are the two most common causes of injury. Working with a specialized personal trainer who can diagnose your specific physical needs will help you reduce your likelihood of injury and keep your body functioning as you need it to.
Flexibility is an often overlooked factor in the ability to keep your body performing optimally. Tight muscles often lead to minor injuries that left untreated can cause real problems. The average day is full of forward flexing positions which can cause tight hip flexors and chest muscles. Having tight muscles on the front of your body very often leads to areas of pain on the back side of your body. Tight hip flexors can lead to lower back pain and tight chest muscles can lead to neck and upper back pain. Having a personal trainer work with you to show you the proper stretching techniques can help to combat everyday injuries.
Strength is another important factor in keeping your body healthy and happy for everyday life. Having muscles that are strong and balanced help keep your skeleton properly supported to reduce pain and injury. Personal trainers access your current physical state and make recommendations on how to become your most strong and healthy self. A personal trainer will identify areas of concern and areas of strength within your body. They will then help you to increase strength in any areas that you may have weaknesses and maintain your strength in areas where are at optimal strength levels.
Keeping your in an even balance of flexibility and strength is the best way to keep everyday injuries from happening. Working with an experienced and knowledgeable personal trainer who can identify your areas of weakness will help to make the most out of your workouts and maximize your time spent on exercise. Everyday injuries can be very bothersome and difficult to heal since they are caused by motions you do every day with your body. Keeping these injuries from happening by knowing your body and having an educated helping hand will keep you healthy into the future.
