February 2023 – Your Go‑To Sports Therapy Resources
Welcome to the February 2023 archive at CG Sports Therapy Hub. This page pulls together every article we published last month, so you can find the info you need without hunting through the whole site. Whether you’re looking to stop a nagging knee pain, boost your sprint speed, or learn a new stretch routine, you’ll find it right here.
Injury Prevention Guides
We kicked off the month with a deep dive into common winter injuries. One post broke down why ankle sprains spike when the ground gets slick and gave step‑by‑step exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles. Another article focused on shoulder health for swimmers, highlighting rotator‑cuff strengthening drills you can do in a pool locker room. Both pieces include quick video links and printable cheat sheets that athletes love.
Readers also got a special feature on preventing shin splints during early‑season runs. We explained the role of proper footwear, gradual mileage increases, and simple foam‑rolling techniques that melt tension in the calves. The feedback loop was clear – runners who tried the routine reported less pain within a week.
Performance Boosting Workouts
February wasn’t just about staying safe; we helped you get faster, stronger, and more agile. Our “Speed Ladder Sprint” guide showed how to set up a ladder drill in a backyard, with timing tips that make the exercise feel like a game. The article also suggested a three‑day split to balance sprint work with recovery.
For strength enthusiasts, we posted a kettlebell routine tailored for rugby players. The routine targets core stability, hip explosiveness, and grip power – all key for tackling. Each movement comes with a short explanation of why it matters on the field, so you can see the direct link between the workout and game performance.
We didn’t forget the casual fitness crowd. A “Weekend Yoga for Runners” piece combined gentle flows with breath work to improve flexibility and reduce post‑run soreness. The guide is easy to follow, even if you’ve never stepped on a mat before.
All February articles share a common theme: practical steps you can start today. We avoid jargon and instead use plain language, clear photos, and real‑world examples. That way you spend less time guessing and more time training.
