Athletes of all levels strive to improve their performance, whether it’s increasing speed,...
When it comes to sports physical therapy, most athletes think about it after an injury—but what if you could stop injuries before they happen? That’s where prehab comes in. Prehabilitation, or prehab, is the proactive side of physical therapy that focuses on building strength, stability, and resilience to reduce the risk of injuries before they occur. At Puckett Physical Therapy, we believe prehab is just as crucial as rehab—and here’s why.
Why Prehab Matters
In sports, injuries don’t just happen out of the blue. Often, they’re the result of muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, or weaknesses that go unnoticed—until they become a problem. Prehab addresses these hidden vulnerabilities by targeting key areas such as:
- Flexibility and Mobility: Improve your range of motion to prevent stiffness and strain.
- Strength Conditioning: Build muscle endurance to support joints and reduce wear and tear.
- Dynamic Stability: Enhance balance and proprioception to stay grounded during high-impact movements.
- Agility Training: Sharpen your quickness and reaction time to move more efficiently and avoid injury.
Prehab Is for Everyone, Not Just Injured Athletes
You don’t need to be recovering from an injury to benefit from prehab. In fact, prehab is essential for any athlete—whether you’re a runner, soccer player, weightlifter, or weekend warrior. By preparing your body for the demands of your sport, you’re not just reducing your risk of injury—you’re enhancing your performance. Think of prehab as your built-in insurance policy to stay in the game longer and stronger.
