How to Prevent Running Injuries

how-to-prevent-running-injuries

With gyms closing down due to COVID-19, more and more people have taken to the outside to exercise and workout. Whether you’ve only recently taken up running or have been running for years, it’s important to remember that running can have physical risks, just like any other sport.

Check out these tips for preventing running injuries that we at Family Urgent Care — a certified provider of Urgent Care in Columbus, Ohio — have gathered to help our readers stay in tip-top shape.

  • Improve Flexibility
    Many runners sprain or strain their muscles because their bodies aren’t loose or limber enough. This is why it’s recommended to add flexibility exercises to your routine to give your muscles the space they need to stretch and expand without causing injury.
  • The Right Footwear
    Runners can get an injury while running just by wearing the wrong type of shoes. For instance, if your shoes don’t fit properly, you’re more likely to land “land on your foot wrong” and cause your ankle to roll inward. 80% of sprains happen from an inversion or inward rolling.
  • Listen to Your Body
    There is no better way to prevent injury than to listen to your body. If you’re feeling sluggish or low on energy on a certain day, it might be a good idea to stay home or reduce the distance you’re running.

We’ve treated hundreds of patients with running injuries in our Walk-in Clinic, which is why we understand the pain and discomfort that it can cause.

Should you ever need Emergency Care in Ohio, we’re always open to help. Contact us at 937-471-4073 for details.
