#injuries and preventing and curing them
@ Oscar [ comment on log #logthread ]
I think explosive moves without having warmed these moves, these parts of the body, up are especially dangerous / (or:) liable to provoke rips or aches. I do short stretching of arms, shoulders, back, legs (groin) before I juggle. When I get an ache, I loosen up / limber up or stretch that part or (in summer) take a swim and see if it gets better by that, then continue easy going with less balls (many smaller aches like that just disappear soon again), else - if it tends to hurt more, I try to go on juggling without the move that hurts, even else then quit.
@ all - So, preventing seems a good idea to me. Also not risking anything or not too much. Everyone, I'm sure, will cope differently with preventing, going on or quitting juggling, then curing.

Thank you! I was very warmed up, sweaty in fact, but probably not in these parts you talk about. I probably should focus more on warm-up and to listen to my body.
No doctor on board?
What, which wrong move, makes which injury?
E.g. several here cope with shoulder problems - what is it that makes these? I think, mine comes from every now and then stupidly doing as-high-as-I-can-throws with stronghand (overstretching?), but might also be from explosive save attempts of almost out of reach balls (against the movement of the rest of the body?). Also might be from too fast (then not all that high) pretty high I-can-get-that-one-more-throw-done-throws at the end of a run. Or from doing a too fast correct in high patterns. (???)
