What can be done to reduce injury when playing football on astroturf?
thelibrarycop asked:
Often when i play football on astroturf (usually 5 a side) i end up with a fair bit of lower back pain and lots of stiffness. This is usually complemented by similar feelings in my knees. I normally wear astroturf boots or ones with moulded studs. Im in my early 20’s so I dont imagine its just my body ageing. Is there anything which can reduce the impact of the surface on my back/joints apart from choice of footwear?
