Injury Prevention Strategies: The Role of Therapy in Athletic Resilience
Stay Off The Sidelines With Physiotherapy and Chiropractic For Sports Resilience
Many top athletes consider injury prevention their secret weapon to staying off the dreaded “Injured Reserve” list. To be a top athlete, you need to be more than physically and mentally strong–you need to be prepared. Our team at MOVE TO MOVE in Calgary, AB can be your secret weapon by providing year-round preparation through chiropractic and physiotherapy for sports resilience and injury prevention.
Sports-related injuries rank among the top health issues for athletes, often resulting in reduced performance and withdrawal from competition. Research shows that implementing sports injury prevention programs can significantly reduce the frequency of muscle strains, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, and ankle injuries in athletes.

Stay In The Game With Proven Injury Prevention Strategies
When it comes to training, not warming up properly or using incorrect techniques can increase the likelihood of injury. And, if you don’t give your body the rest it needs, you might find yourself dealing with overuse injuries.
At MOVE TO MOVE, we know how injuries happen in sports. But better yet, we know how to prevent them. Applying physiotherapy and chiropractic for sports resilience and injury prevention helps to minimize both the frequency and severity of sports-related injuries so athletes can stay in the game.
When it comes to injury prevention, the most important component is to have a clear picture of your current condition, where your weak points are and where you are vulnerable to getting injured. Our cutting edge FRA (Functional Range Assessment) is the best way to gain this knowledge. FRA is a measurement based assessment system that provides objective measure of a person’s movement capacity for each & every articulation. During the FRA, your therapist will assess your Full Body CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations) as well as perform table assessment of every major joint in your body.
Once we have these measurements, training INPUTS (FRC®) are able to be directed at the individual’s specific deficits to develop a stronger more resilient body.
Other strategies used for injury prevention by our therapists are:
Stretching and Mobility Training
Exercises and mobility drills adapted to your unique requirements. Our therapists are trained in FRC (Functional Range Conditioning) which is the world leading system for maintaining healthy joints.
Strength Training
Exercises that may include weights, exercise bands, sport-specific resistance training, and other cutting-edge techniques
Proper Form
Correct form, proper sequence/coordinated movements, and posture help to prevent overuse
Manual Therapy
Targeted hands-on techniques to alleviate pain and enhance movement
Rest
Studies show that rest, including getting enough sleep at night, plays an important role in helping bodies build and repair
Nutrition
Diet plays a vital role in muscle recovery during and between physiotherapy sessions
Whether it’s the preseason, in-season, or off-season, it’s always the right season to have therapy for sports resilience in your corner.
