Are there activities or sports you would love to get back to but are unsure where to begin? Are you worried about a past injury flaring up and/or don’t have the confidence to start a new activity?I have seen this countless times over the years and the best advice I could give is to just start moving! Whether it is walking more, stretching more or doing a few minutes of exercise per day. The key is to start small and gradually build up. If there is an activity or movement that you have not done in a very long time, take baby steps!For instance, if your goal is to run 10 km but you have not run in three years, don’t try and run that distance your first time out. Try a walk-run program and maybe go out for 10-15 minutes for your first time. If your body responds well, you can gradually run farther as you reach your goal!The goal for all of my clients is to build them a routine designed to meet their goals. As they become stronger and more flexible, they are able to participate in more activities confidently and pain-free and feel safe doing so!If this sounds like you, I encourage you to start moving! This could be through some athletic therapy sessions or simply trying some stretching or strength sessions throughout your day.Book in with your local Athletic Therapist and get back to the activities and sports you enjoy most stronger and more confident than ever.Find an Alberta athletic therapist near you
