One way SOL personal trainers may be able to help you avoid injuries
Our SOL Physical Therapy team knows our personal trainers may be able to help you avoid injuries. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there were approximately 8.6 million sports injuries in 2014. Our SOL Physical Therapy personal trainers may be able to help you avoid becoming part of this statistic.
One major problem that many sports players face is low core strength and stability. Our team knows your core includes a variety of muscles in your stomach, sides and back. We also know these muscles are critical for sports players because they serve several important functions. For instance, your core muscles help you maintain proper spinal alignment. Strong and stable core muscles are also a factor in preventing imbalances in other muscle groups.
Our personal trainers at SOL Physical Therapy may be able to help you improve the stability of your core. We’ll work toward this goal by designing a personalized therapy plan for you that may include:
- Core-specific strengthening and conditioning routines
- Exercises that target individual core muscles
- Movements that utilize multiple core muscles at once
Plans that include these and other core stabilization techniques may allow you to have a stronger and more stable core. In addition, such plans may also help you avoid many types of sports injuries.
