Okay, its not really the same as warming up your leftovers before you serve them for dinner - but thats the first thing we thought of.

Taking care of ALL parts of yourself is important, and yes, movement is one of them - but so is relaxing.

Injuries are never a good thing.

Taking care of your body before it gets injured is always our suggestion, however, sometimes things happen that are out of our control that would happen whether you were taking care of your muscles or not.

Taking care of yourself after an injury is extremely important as well, as it will speed up your recovery.
