Landing Mechanic Tips from Rush Physical Therapy

Rush Therapy Logo

Oftentimes, in sports, it is unpredictable how you will land when coming down from a leap in the air (i.e. doing a layup in basketball, making a catch over the fence in softball/baseball, etc). It is still a great idea to practice landing mechanics via performing eccentric squats off of a box (starting on a box and jumping down into a squat position).

Two things to keep in mind:
1) it is always better to land with your feet wider than your shoulders to prevent injury as the force is greater traveling up your legs if your feet are too narrow
2) try your best to land quietly to try and absorb as much impact as possible

Creating awareness about the influence of being overweight in arthritis is crucial to encourage people to
maintain a healthy weight and prevent the development or worsening of arthritis symptoms. Prime Health System educates individuals about the risks associated with being overweight and the benefits of weight loss in order to make informed decisions about daily lifestyle choices. Losing weight can reduce arthritis symptoms, improve joint function, and decrease the risk of joint
damage.
