5 Everyday Habits That Cause Injuries

Not every injury happens in a dramatic moment during a game or workout. Many creep up slowly, building through the small things you do every day.

Here are five everyday habits that could be putting you at risk:

1️⃣ Poor posture at your desk – Hunched shoulders, forward head, and a slouched back put constant strain on your spine and muscles.

2️⃣ Skipping warm-ups – Cold muscles are less flexible and more prone to strains.

3️⃣ Wearing the wrong shoes – Poor support affects alignment from the ground up.

4️⃣ Ignoring recovery days – Muscles need time to repair; without it, fatigue sets in.

5️⃣ Training through fatigue – Tired muscles can’t stabilise joints as well, increasing injury risk.

The good news? Small adjustments — like stretching daily, choosing the right footwear, and scheduling recovery time — can make a big difference.
