The best injury is the one that never happens. While we can't prevent all injuries, research shows that targeted prevention programs can significantly reduce injury risk - especially for common issues like hamstring strains, ankle sprains, and overuse injuries.

Injury prevention isn't about being overly cautious. It's about building a resilient body that can handle the demands you place on it. This means appropriate warm-ups, progressive training, addressing weaknesses, and listening to warning signs.

In this topic, we'll explore evidence-based prevention strategies, including prehab exercises, load management principles, and how to recognise and respond to early warning signs.
