Performing strengthening and stretching exercises will help
reduce injury risks before an injury occurs. Pre-habilitation is nothing new to many professional athletes
and trainers, but it is now becoming widely recognized by the mainstream
medical community and individual athletes as a means to help eliminate the
possibility of an injury before it ever occurs.
Pre-habilitation incorporates strengthening and stretching
exercises for specific groups of muscles in order to help reduce the risk of
injury before an injury actually occurs.

Pre-habilitation is sport and work-specific and addresses
common injuries and strength imbalances that occur in the particular sport or
activity that the individual is involved.
Pre-habilitation requires that the muscle group is
strengthened in order to perform the sport or activity and not that the muscle
group is strengthened while performing the sport or activity.
Strengthening the muscle group beyond what it will be called
upon to do, or beyond its normal strength requirements, will help reduce the
possibility of an injury occurring.
Knowing this information about the sport or activity that
you perform, and the fact that injuries are common, the personal trainer or
clinical therapist working with a tennis player, carpal tunnel patient or any other situation
should recommend exercises to develop the strength and ability for each
individuals need. This will avoid any potential strength imbalance and raise the
individual’s ability to withstand the forces of the sport or activity performed;
therefore muscles imbalances like this occur throughout the entire body and
must be addressed before injury occurs.
