Even if you have been performing physically demanding activities such as weightlifting, injuries resulting from accidents or improper execution of movements are still possible.
The same is true for those who are only starting to try such activities. Depending on the type of injury or the level of pain/discomfort you are experiencing, you might need to visit a sports injury clinic for a consultation and receive proper treatment.
Here are some tips on how you can avoid and prevent weightlifting injuries.
It is highly recommended to undergo an assessment before starting any physical activities or restarting weightlifting activities after getting post-surgery physiotherapy to ensure it is safe to proceed.
If you’re keen on doing weightlifting activities, it’s best to have a trainer who can provide proper guidance on performing certain movements, as well as teach you the proper posture when lifting. This way you won’t see yourself needing back pain treatment Dubai after your activity.
Discipline and moderation are to prevent injury. As you start increasing the difficulty of your routine, observe how your body feels after going through certain motions. In some cases, mild pain or discomfort can be expected but if it persists after a few repetitions, stop the activity and re-assess how you feel.
Be mindful of your condition and increase the difficulty of your weightlifting activities in moderation. Consider asking a trainer or specialist about getting a sports massage Dubai Marina to help with pain relief and pain management. It can also help with muscle strain and improve your range of motion.
Wearing the proper gear when performing physical activities provides additional comfort and support, as well as significantly reduces the risk of injury.
When possible, take lessons from experts, especially when you’re starting a new activity. If you recently received treatment from a sports injury clinic, ask your specialist if they can recommend a trainer or a facility that can help you.
