Game On: Tackling Strains, Sprains and Common Sports Injuries (Ep 27)

In the playing fields of life, we are all athletes. Whether we are elite performers in an actual sport, or the grocery-getting, kid-chasing, suitcase-schlepping, housework-doing athlete that life demands, we may all experience common injuries at some point.

Join Dr. Parker Hays for a conversation with Dr. Susie Wehring, professor of athletic training with decades of experience treating athletes from Division 1 collegiate to the professional tennis circuit. Muscle strains, ligament sprains, and tendon injuries may befall any of us, but the tenets of treatment are consistent and can help us get back to playing shape to fight another day.

We discuss the initial inflammatory phase followed by two phases that set the stage for healing and long term return to function. Further, we touch on the conditions for healing, including sleep, nutrition, and psychology, as well as the philosophy of training to prevent injury in the first place.

We get knocked down, but we get up again…
