With the warmer weather here to stay, Dr. Simon says this is a great time to remind people of all fitness and ability levels about injury prevention.

“As we all head outside to enjoy our favorite activities, we sometimes forget to work our way back to where we were before winter or that we’re not in high school anymore,” said Dr. Simon. “Following some basic prevention techniques and know what’s available to you should an injury occur are important to keep us all healthy and active.”
