Working with Recreational and Competitive Athletes
A weekend warrior is someone who works out part-time or on weekends. Most weekend warriors do not have the time to or think they don’t have the time to do a warm-up and cool down, which can cause injury.
Weekend warriors’ primary job is not being a professional athlete, and most are usually inactive during the week and by the weekend are ready to hit the pavement or preferred activity, with little to no preparation for the great intensity ahead. Sports Physiotherapists will not only educate patients, but they will also treat the ailments using but not limited to manual therapy, ultrasound, and or heat/cold.
