Injury prevention

Care for your body while being active:

  • Whatever activity you choose, start slow and listen to your body. If it's hurting, stop and rest.
  • Wear socks that fit well, are comfortable, and keep your feet dry.
  • Choose shoes suited for your activity. The heel should not pinch or slip; the shoes should bend easily at the ball of your feet.
  • Try new things to find an activity you enjoy — it's easiest to stick with something you like.
