Listen to Your Body says New ARC Sports Doctor
March 05, 2018
Recently, Dr. Ross E. Hairgrove, Orthopedist and Musculoskeletal and Sports Medicine physician at ARC Kyle Plum Creek and ARC Southwest, shared some tips on starting a new activity safely to listeners of the ARC Healthcare Minute on KLBJ-AM.
Dr. Hairgrove says, “If you are starting a new sport like pickleball, rock climbing, or training for your first marathon – my advice, start slowly.” He explains, saying, “Whatever the activity, start slowly, and gradually increase the intensity, frequency, and duration. And, listen to your body. Don't ignore chronic aches and pains, or they could turn into injuries that require medical care."
