During the summer months, our patients enjoy returning to aquatic sports such as canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or even swimming. As much as it is important to warm up your muscles to ensure that your muscles are prepared to perform the movements that your sport requires, it just as important to cool down after your sport. Cooling down ensures that the state of your muscles returns to normal and that your heart rate is regulated.

Our physiotherapist Jess demonstrates below some great cool-down stretches and exercises to do after your summer sports!
