Yes, it’s true; physical
therapists are praying
that you get injured
when you play
basketball or tennis.

This way they will have you as their patient since you
will need their help in order to get back to how you
were before.

Before everyone starts bashing that first
statement I will say this: that’s not true and I
was merely saying that in jest. Granted there
may be those who secretly wish that but for
the most part most physical therapists would
rather not see you injured in any way.

The thing is, often the injuries come as a result of the
body not totally prepared to play. This is especially
true of the casual player.

Often, a lot of the injuries come from having pulled
muscles or something similar. Muscles need to be
properly warmed up. That’s because if you don’t do
that the muscles tend to be hard and very resistant.

If you plan to play sports on a
regular basis then exercise
on a regular basis as well.
This will help condition your
body so that it is
strengthened to be able to
withstand the sport you will
be playing.

Simple knee and elbow
pads may look funny when
you play basketball but
once you fall down a
couple of times you will be
thankful that you did.
