As an athlete, you rely on your elbows to complete many of the motions necessary to succeed in your sport. However, this constant use can also lead to elbow pain, which can sideline you for weeks or even months. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to help prevent this type of injury.
First, be sure to warm up your muscles before starting any activity. This will help loosen them up and increase blood flow, making them less likely to be injured. Second, use the proper equipment when playing your sport. This includes wearing the appropriate padding and using the correct grip size on bats and other objects. Finally, listen to your body and take breaks when necessary.
If you feel any pain or discomfort in your elbow, stop what you are doing and rest for a few days. By following these simple tips, you can help keep your elbows healthy and prevent pain from interrupting your athletic career.
