Sports Injury Prevention

Below find a variety of PDF flyers that explain the most common sports injuries and how to prevent them. The most important thing to remember is If you get hurt, stop playing. Continuing to play or exercise can cause more harm. Treatment often begins with the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) method to relieve pain, reduce swelling and speed healing. Other possible treatments include pain relievers, keeping the injured area from moving, rehabilitation and sometimes surgery.
