Those who play team sports accept muscular Injuries as the norm but I totally disagree with this acceptance. In my experience, unless a freak accident/fall or in cases of inadequate warm up, people will avoid injuries if they remain flexible. This ensures good posture and loose flexible limbs. It is important to keep all areas of the body flexible but in particular the shoulders, rotator cuff and in particularly the hips and hamstrings when referring to the lower body.

Remember that most injuries will arise from a muscle being overstretched. Therefore if you think about it logically if a muscle is very flexible have you decreased your risk of injury?

Muscle is just like an elastic band – it can be stretched but still has a breaking point. However when discussing muscles you have total control over where this breaking point is. The key to flexible muscles is:

• Adequately warming up the muscles before strenuous use. Muscle has to be warm to stretch so waste of time stretching it cold

• When doing resistance exercise make sure to ALWAYS use full Range Of Movement. This is one of the main causes of inflexibility particularly in males.

• Make flexibility training a core part of your training regime not just something to do if you have a few minutes.

• Get a massage every month to loosen up the deep parts of the muscles

When stretching you must:

• Go to the point of most discomfort and hold that position.

• Hold each stretch for 60 seconds minimum and stretch further every 15 seconds.

• Do stretch 2/3 times on each limb. Importantly finish all the sets of a particular stretch on that limb before moving to the opposite

Make flexibility a key part of your routine and say goodbye to frequent injuries.
