Prevent nasty injuries

Sprains, strains and fractures are part of life. But there are ways in which nasty injuries can be prevented.

Take action:

Don’t overexert yourself when it comes to exercise – get yourself into shape gradually with a graded exercise programme; listen to your body – warm up properly and cool off after exercising; and use proper equipment and the correct technique. Also use common sense to prevent injury in everyday life: don’t carry heavy objects; watch where you step; and keep your home safe (e.g. don't let objects lie around and make sure that rugs are slip-free).
