Warm up properly before exercising. Warming up helps to prepare your muscles and joints for activity. It also helps to reduce the risk of strains and sprains.
Cool down after exercising. Cooling down helps to remove waste products from your muscles and joints. It also helps to reduce the risk of soreness and stiffness.
Use proper technique when exercising. Using proper technique helps to reduce the risk of injuries. If you are unsure about how to perform an exercise, ask a qualified professional for instruction.
Listen to your body. If you feel pain, stop exercising and rest. Pushing through pain can lead to more serious injuries.

If you do suffer a musculoskeletal injury, it is important to seek professional rehabilitation. Rehabilitation can help to restore your range of motion, strength, and function. It can also help to reduce pain and prevent future injuries.

The rehabilitation process typically involves a variety of treatments, including:

Physical therapy. Physical therapy can help to restore range of motion, strength, and function. It can also help to reduce pain and improve balance and coordination.
Occupational therapy. Occupational therapy can help you to learn how to perform activities of daily living with your injury. This can include tasks such as getting dressed, cooking, and working.
Speech therapy. Speech therapy can help you to improve your communication skills if your injury has affected your ability to speak or swallow.

The length of your rehabilitation will depend on the severity of your injury. However, with proper treatment, most people can expect to make a full recovery.

Once you have completed your rehabilitation, it is important to follow a few post-rehabilitation strategies to help prevent future injuries. These strategies include:

Continue with your rehabilitation exercises. Even after you have completed your formal rehabilitation, it is important to continue with your exercises to maintain your range of motion, strength, and function.
Stay active. Regular exercise is essential for maintaining your overall health and fitness. It can also help to prevent future injuries.
Listen to your body. If you feel pain, stop exercising and rest. Pushing through pain can lead to more serious injuries.

By following these post-rehabilitation strategies, you can help to prevent future injuries and stay active for life.
