The Olympics and Bouncing Back from Injury
The Olympics has over 400 events across 35 different sports and 53 disciplines, most of which take place during the Summer Olympics. From track to soccer, every athlete and Olympian has custom training and strategies in place to prevent injury. There are a wide variety of events and disciplines available in the Olympics and everyday life. When injury occurs, it is imperative to be treated quickly for optimal recovery.
In a journal from Advanced Orthopedics New England, quick treatment of injury
significantly improves the recovery time needed, lessens pain and swelling, prevents further damage, and reduces long-term damage to the area.
