As athletes return to fall sports in Argyle, TX and the surrounding North Texas areas, the risk of injury rises. Learn how to stay healthy and strong with these essential tips on gradually building workload, dynamic warm-ups, strengthening key muscles, and prioritizing recovery.

The transition from summer can be a tough one. The long, sunny days and relaxed schedules are great for the soul, but they can also leave us feeling a little out of sync—physically, mentally, and emotionally. If you feel like you've lost your rhythm, you're not alone, and you don’t have to overhaul everything at once to feel better.

Our physical therapists recommend starting with your sleep. Before you dive into a new workout routine, focus on going to bed and waking up at consistent times. Next, reintroduce movement gradually, with short walks or simple mobility routines rather than an intense gym schedule. Finally, focus on simple, nourishing nutrition and reconnect with your support systems.

This time of year is not about perfection; it’s about finding your way back to what feels good and sustainable.
