LDM Physio Corner - Finish the Season Strong, Not Sore

🏀 LDM Physio Corner with @mazza.physio

You’ve put the work in all season!
Training. Games. School. Travel. Late nights. Early mornings.

Now is not the time to break down.

Most injuries don’t happen at the start of the season.
They happen when fatigue builds up, recovery slips, and small niggles get ignored.

If you want to finish this season strong, pain-free, and performing at your best, this is the phase where durability matters most.

🧠 Why Late Season Is Risky

Right now:

  • Your tendons are loaded week after week

  • Your nervous system is tired

  • Small aches are easier to ignore

Knees start talking.
Ankles feel heavy.
Hamstrings tighten during sprints.

This is where smart players double down on the basics.

🔥 Your “Finish Strong” Isometric Habit

These are simple. Effective. No excuses.

1️⃣ Wall Sits

Your knee protection policy.

How:

  • Back against the wall

  • Hips and knees around 90°

  • Chest tall, heels flat

Dose:

  • 45 seconds

  • 3 times per day

Why it matters now:

  • Maintains tendon strength under fatigue

  • Reduces front-of-knee pain

  • Keeps your deceleration strong when defending or landing

2️⃣ Isometric Elevated Hamstring Bridge

Big for sprint speed and protecting the back of your legs.

How:

  • Lie on your back

  • Heels on a chair or bench

  • Lift hips until body is straight

  • Hold strong at the top

Dose:

  • 45 seconds

  • 3 holds

  • Once per day

Why it matters now:

  • Keeps hamstrings strong when fatigue builds

  • Supports sprinting at full speed

  • Protects knees during stopping and direction changes

🧠 Make It Automatic

  • Wall sit before school

  • Bridge hold before bed

  • No motivation needed, just consistency

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about protecting what you’ve already built.
