Injury Prevention Strategies

Edward Hernandez, Physical Therapist with Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute, explains seven ways to prevent injuries: listen to your body, stay in shape, exercise the right way, warm up, cross-train, be careful at work and don't strain to reach anything. He recommends getting evaluated by a professional when the first symptom appears, because more damage to the shoulder can be avoided.
