We have had several requests for a blog post that address common volleyball injuries. So I spoke with Blain Empey, an athletic trainer about the most common injuries in volleyball. There are a lot of  injuries on the volleyball court, jammed fingers and twisted ankles. However, those are difficult to predict or prevent. After talking with Blain, we decided that the best blog posts for the readers of the GMS blog would address injuries that are caused by overuse or lack of proper strength training.  We also wanted to address injuries that could be treated through proper preventative and rehabilitative exercises.

This is one of the original “articles” from our old website; we are reposting the entire series here on our blog.

Luka Slabe, our friend from Slovenia, has sent us this article about stretching. Naturally we love it, which is what Luka said when he sent it.
