Why Injury Prevention Matters

Most injuries don’t happen by accident — they result from muscle imbalances, poor movement mechanics, overtraining, or lack of recovery. Over time, these factors increase stress on joints, tendons, and muscles, eventually leading to pain or injury.

A proactive physical therapy approach focuses on identifying these risk factors early and correcting them before they cause a setback.

How Physical Therapy Keeps You Safe and Strong

Our team at Radius PT designs personalized prevention programs based on your lifestyle, sport, or activity goals. Using detailed movement assessments, strength testing, and flexibility screenings, we pinpoint problem areas that may increase your risk of injury.

Your plan may include:

• Biomechanical and gait analysis to identify inefficient movement patterns

• Targeted strength and stability training to support vulnerable joints and muscles

• Neuromuscular reeducation to improve balance and coordination

• Flexibility and mobility work for optimal range of motion

• Education on proper warm-up, recovery, and technique

By improving how your body moves and performs, we help reduce the chance of injury while enhancing overall athletic ability.
