By Emilie Smale, Certified Athletic Therapist Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a competitive athlete, or just getting into fitness, sports injuries can be a frustrating and painful setback. The good news? Many of them are preventable with the right preparation, technique, and care. As an athletic therapist, I regularly work with people recovering from injuries that could have been avoided. Here are five of the most common sports injuries I see and how you can lower your risk. 1. Ankle Sprain
2. ACL TearsWhat it is: A tear in the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee, often occurring during sudden stops, pivots, or awkward landings. Common in: Soccer, basketball, skiing, and other high-impact or pivot-heavy sports. Prevention tips:
3. Rotator Cuff Injuries What it is: Strains or tears in the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Common in: Baseball, tennis, swimming, CrossFit, and other overhead sports. Prevention tips:
4. Shin Splints What it is: Pain along the front or inner part of the lower leg, often from overuse or improper mechanics. Common in: Runners, dancers, and high-intensity training participants. Prevention tips:
5. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) What it is: Inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, typically from repetitive wrist and arm motions. Common in: Tennis, pickleball, and any repetitive grip-based sports or movements. Prevention tips:
Final ThoughtWhile no one can completely eliminate the risk of injury, taking a proactive approach through conditioning, recovery, and proper technique can go a long way. If you’re dealing with pain that isn’t going away, or want to build an injury prevention plan tailored to your sport or lifestyle, an athletic therapist can help.
