Rugby injuries can happen quickly if you’re not careful. Here are four common actions to avoid: 1️⃣ Skipping the Warm-Up: Don’t hit the pitch cold – warm up to prime your muscles and reduce the risk of strains. 2️⃣ Ignoring Protective Gear: Ensure your headgear, mouthguard, and other gear fit well and are in good condition. 3️⃣ Neglecting Off-Field Training: Strength and stability training off the field are just as crucial as practice on it. 4️⃣ Playing Through Pain: Playing through pain isn’t toughness; it’s a fast track to more severe injuries. Did you know that for every 1000 hours of playing rugby, there are about 91 injuries like sprains, concussions, and fractures? This is measured in player-match-hours, which means it’s the total amount of time all players spend on the pitch during games. - National Library of Medicine 2022 Whether you need injury prevention tips, personalized rehabilitation, or expert advice, sportsphysicaltherapy has you covered. 📞 (425) 628-2031 🌐 ht...
