Colder temperatures can increase the risk of sports injuries by causing muscles and joints to become stiff and less flexible. A proper warm-up is essential to gradually raise your core body temperature, improve circulation, and prepare muscles and tendons for activity. Dynamic movements such as light cardio and sport-specific mobility drills are far more effective than static stretching alone. This preparation reduces the likelihood of strains, sprains, and overuse injuries—especially in the shoulders, knees, and back. As always, if you experience discomfort during or after an activity, we are here to help you recover safely and return to performance.
