Volleyball Injuries Can Be Avoided, Cautions Atlanta Orthopaedic Surgeons OrthoAtlanta

    NORCROSS, GA, December 20, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons at OrthoAtlanta caution people to watch out for volleyball related sports injuries during the summer months. Atlanta-based OrthoAtlanta suggest that summer time play can be a lot of fun, but also requires proper stretching.

Volleyball injuries occur when people do not do not warm up their body properly. Atlanta orthopaedics with OrthoAtlanta suggest that, while the entire body should be stretch, focus should be on the legs, as this is where most of the injuries occur. They advise people to stretch all the major muscle groups of the legs, and warm up the ankles as well. This can help people avoid injury.

"Just ten minutes of stretching can make all the difference," said Dr. Michael Behr, Atlanta orthopaedic surgeon with OrthoAtlanta. "Stretching all the major muscles groups can help avoid tearing due to inflexibility or overuse."

Atlanta orthopaedic doctors at OrthoAtlanta also advise that people should cool down the muscles after play, to avoid future injuries. Simple stretches before and after a pickup game can help the overall health and resilience of the muscles.

Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons at OrthoAtlanta suggest that people incorporate stretching into the daily routine of sports and recreation to avoid damaging major muscles and joints. Many injuries can be prevented through daily stretching, but when injuries do occur, OrthoAtlanta can help.
