Give Soccer Injuries A Penalty By Warming Up Before Games, Encourages OrthoAtlanta

OrthoAtlanta, an Atlanta-based orthopaedic team, offers soccer players advice on avoiding injuries.

2012-12-06

NORCROSS, GA, December 06, 2012 (Press-News.org) OrthoAtlanta, an Atlanta based orthopaedic group, encourages soccer players to kick the no stretching habit and adopt a strict warm up and cool down program to prevent soccer related injuries.

Soccer is a strenuous sport, requiring players to run almost no stop for 45 minutes per half. This constant starting and stopping momentum can be damaging to player's joints and muscles, so Atlanta orthopaedic doctors with OrthoAtlanta suggest that players adopt a strict stretching program.

"Running is already tough on the joints, add to that the starting and stopping motion in soccer, and players can find themselves in trouble," said Dr. Michael Behr, Atlanta orthopaedic surgeon at OrthoAtlanta. "It's the sudden movement from full stop to full run that can cause the players the most damage and injury."

Players should also be aware of the tackling within soccer, as these block tackle and slides can injury joints and muscles. Accidental collisions are another source of injury, state Atlanta orthopaedic doctors with OrthoAtlanta, and these collisions can be responsible for torn ligaments, sprains and joint damage.

The best prevention is a proper stretching regimen. While not all injuries can be avoided, most can be prevented by keeping muscles flexible and limber.

Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons at OrthoAtlantaalso encourage soccer players to keep hydrated throughout the game to keep the body at peak performance. Hydration can keep muscles working and can help players avoid muscle cramps throughout the game. Cramps can be the first sign of potential trouble.

Accidents will happen, but Atlanta orthopaedic doctors at OrthoAtlanta agree: most injuries can be avoided. The Atlanta orthopaedic doctors at OrthoAtlanta are trained professionals here to treat sports injuries, cartilage injuries and most orthopaedic damage.

LondonTown.com's Best London Butchers and Interactive Christmas Turkey Map

2012-12-06

England's famous tradition of roast turkey at Christmas dates back to the 17th century - but while turkey used to be something of a luxury reserved for the upper classes in Victorian times, it is now readily available from top butchers all over London. In Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, the impoverished Bob Cratchit has a goose lined up for his family's Christmas dinner before a born-again Scrooge delivers him a prize turkey (twice the size of Tiny Tim) from his local butcher. In those days, chicken and turkey were too expensive for most and instead beef and goose ...

How to Enjoy Christmas on a Budget, with Debt Line

2012-12-06

A new report has forecast Christmas spending in the UK to reach GBP86 billion this year, despite a contraction in disposable income. Christmas is one of the most expensive times of the year and there is tremendous pressure on parents to make their children's dreams come true in the form of lavish gifts, expensive decorations and more food than possibly be consumed in one sitting. To pay for all this, parents generally reach for their credit cards without any intention of being able to pay their balance at the end of the month. Instead parents risk getting into debt to create ...

Gender Equality Ruling Means Women Face Hike in Car Insurance Costs, Reports Ritmo Cars

2012-12-06

From 21 December car insurance companies will not be allowed to distinguish by gender when selling car insurance. To bring rates inline, men will enjoy a fall of around 10% in their premiums and women, even though - statistically - they are less likely to make an insurance claim, will have to pay the same as men resulting in a rise of around GBP300 on average. The timing of this couldn't be worse bringing a blow to female drivers just in time for Christmas, one of the most expensive times of the year. Young men under the age of 35 are 10 times more likely to be killed ...

If You Have a Professional Negligence Claim Against a Property Professional and Want a No-Win-No-Fee Agreement, You Need to Act Quickly, Reports Dewar Hogan

2012-12-06

Allegations of negligence against property professionals are more common during a recession than at any other time, and many claims will still be the subject of debate and litigation years after the economy is back on its feet. Most professionals are insured and therefore they are not too closely involved in the claims made against them. Instead an army of experienced insurers and solicitors will step in to defend them at no cost to the professional. The claimant on the other hand is not in such a fortunate position. He is likely to have two concerns: first to find an experienced ...

New Mobile Review Platform Gives Businesses Control of Their Online Reputation

2012-12-06

Seven out of 10 consumers trust an online review as much as they do a review from a friend or family member, according to USA Today. Unfortunately, many people only take the time to review a business when they've had a bad experience. "The biggest issue with review sites is that customers rarely go to the web to share their positive experiences," says Jeremy Tyler, CEO of ReviewUs.com. "Because of this, many business owners today feel their online reputation is often misleading and detrimental to their bottom line." ReviewUs.com is a revolutionary ...
