🚨 Junior Lifeguards: Strength, Stamina & Recovery 🚨
Junior lifeguards undergo rigorous training, requiring strength, endurance, and agility in and out of the water. Long hours of swimming, running on sand, and performing rescue drills put significant stress on young bodies.
🏊♂️How Soft Tissue Therapy Helps Junior Lifeguards:

✅ Before Training: Prepares muscles for intense activity, improving flexibility and reducing the risk of strains.
✅ During Training: Reduces muscle fatigue and improves endurance, allowing for stronger performance in drills and rescues.
✅ After Training: Speeds up recovery, prevents overuse injuries, and alleviates soreness from repetitive movements.
🏋️♂️ Common Strains & How We Help:
Shoulder Fatigue: Excessive swimming can lead to rotator cuff tightness → Neuromuscular Therapy
Knee & Ankle Stress: Running on sand creates instability → Myofascial Release & FST Stretch Therapy
Lower Back Pain: Carrying equipment and sprinting cause spinal compression → Lymphatic Drainage & Myofascial Release
Keeping junior lifeguards in peak condition ensures they stay strong, confident, and capable in lifesaving situations.
