Let your muscles thaw in spring
Ah, spring.
Time to soak in the sweet embrace of mother nature, run out to celebrate the arrival of warmer days and immediately pull a hamstring.
Ouch.
Spring may awaken your inner Jack La Lanne. But if you've spent the last few months emulating John Goodman, then you might want to ease up a bit before going full throttle with activities.
"At this point, people are out running, hiking, gardening, playing softball," said Dr. Carol Scott, a certified sports medicine specialist and assistant director of the University of Nevada, Reno's student health center. "But if you've been fairly sedentary during the winter, then you can get injured out there. It's usually a matter of 'too much, too fast.'""
Lots of hurting
The type of spring injuries run the gamut of the different activities that cause them.
