PT for Weekend Warriors
Many active adults pack all their exercise into the weekend — running, hiking, playing sports, or hitting the gym hard after a long workweek. While the “weekend warrior” lifestyle is energizing, it often comes with an increased risk of strains, sprains, and overuse injuries. That’s why having the right physical therapy support matters.
Why Weekend Warriors Get Hurt
With busy schedules, the body doesn’t always stay prepared for sudden bursts of high-intensity activity. Common reasons include:
– Sudden activity spikes after a mostly sedentary week
– Poor mobility or tight muscles, especially from long sitting hours
– Weak stabilizing muscles around the hips, core, and shoulders
– Skipping warm-ups or recovery routines
– Hidden movement imbalances that create stress on joints
These factors can lead to knee pain, back strains, Achilles issues, shoulder injuries, and more — all common in weekend athletes.
