Injury prevention is a proactive approach that aims to identify risk factors and implement strategies to prevent injuries before they occur. This involves educating individuals about safe movement patterns, proper technique, and the importance of physical conditioning to reduce the likelihood of injury. Injury prevention programs often include exercises that improve strength, flexibility, and balance, as well as ergonomic adjustments to work environments or daily activities.

Injury prevention is particularly important in sports, the workplace, and rehabilitation settings, where individuals are at higher risk of developing strains, sprains, or musculoskeletal injuries. By implementing injury prevention strategies, individuals can reduce the risk of injuries, improve overall performance, and promote long-term health.

Incorporating injury prevention techniques into rehabilitation programs can help individuals avoid re-injury and maintain optimal functional capacity.
