Injury Prevention Programs in Sports

25/10/2023

​As we come out the other side of winter sports and dive into summer sports, now might be the time to upskill on some injury prevention programs. At Tablelands Physio, we're excited to spotlight game-changing injury prevention programs that are revolutionising athlete injury prevention and performance at all levels.


🔥 Spotlight: The Programs Pioneering Change 🔥
  1. Rugby's Activate Initiative:
    An astounding breakthrough, the Activate program in Rugby has taken the sports world by storm. Achieving a 40% reduction in injuries, this initiative delves beyond mere prevention. By addressing strength, agility, and the unique demands of rugby with its "Key Activate 8" cues, it's setting a new standard in sports safety.
  2. Football Australia's Perform+:
    Going beyond the goal, Perform+ ensures players are match-ready and injury-resistant. With its dual emphasis on injury prevention and athletic enhancement, it's a holistic approach to football safety, ensuring a 40% reduction in muscle-related injuries.
  3. Netball's Knee Program:
    Changing the dynamics of the game, this program is designed to shield the pivot points of netball. With a focus on the knees and ankles—Netball's high-risk zones—it's been proven to reduce ACL injuries between 40-70%.
  4. SSMA's Hockey Blueprint:
    Agility meets safety in Hockey's latest venture with SSMA. Addressing the sport's unique set of challenges, this collaboration has seen a commendable 25% reduction in on-field injuries.


🧠 Mental Fortitude: The Unsung Hero
The symbiotic relationship between mental and physical well-being cannot be stressed enough. A reduction in injuries not only ensures physical health but also paves the way for heightened mental resilience. As we always say, a sound mind in a sound body is the best defense against injuries.


💡 Quick Safety Tips:
  • Adherence to programs like Activate and Perform+ is crucial.
  • Tailor your warm-ups; it's about quality, not quantity.
  • Open communication lines between coaches and players are vital and injuries identified and managed early.


As we wrap up this edition, remember, prevention is better than cure. Playing sport does not have to result in injuries.  If you're interested and want to delve deeper into these prevention programs, our team at Tablelands Physio is here to assist.
Stay sporty, stay safe, and see you in the next edition!
Warm Regards,
The Tablelands Physio Team
