Sports Medicine Frisco TX: Conditioning Is Key To Avoiding Injuries

Participating in sports as a hobby or for any kind of physical exercise can often result in injuries - either chronic or acute.  Sports medicine in Frisco TX exists to address these types of injuries.  Doctors who specialize in sports-related damage to joints, muscles and bones are the most qualified to diagnose and treat it.  At Texas Orthopedic Partners, we know that people who participate in sports and who aren’t conditioned amateur or professional athletes are more prone to injuries because their bodies haven’t been prepared to withstand them. 

Often, people who have participated in sports in their past, like high school or college athletes, think that they can pick up in their 30s, 40s or 50s where they left off in their 20s.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.  Texas Orthopedic Partners doctors in sports medicine in Frisco TX know that training properly to participate in sports requires more than a quick stretch and expensive sneakers.  It requires you to go to a gym or work with a trainer who can get you fit for whichever sport you want to participate in.  Depending on your sport, you may need core muscle build-up through weight and strength training or you may need a whole-body approach to training like Pilates or yoga.  You may even need both in addition to working on your cardiovascular fitness, which is appropriate conditioning for any sport. 

The first step to take before you even start your conditioning is to see your primary care physician for a sports-specific check-up just to be sure you’re in shape to begin any kind of exercise.  If you get the greenlight, then you can start training; but you must take a gradual approach or you could suffer an injury before you pick up a ball or a racquet.  As much as you may want to hurry out to the golf course or basketball court or soccer field, you have to remember that you’re working toward a goal and that goal is to participate in sports for exercise without hurting yourself.
