Common wrestling injuries and how to prevent them

Get to know the common wrestling injuries, ear, shoulder, knee, back and skin, and the principles of sports injury prevention; MHP CLUB's practical guide for parents and wrestlers.

If you are the parent of a young wrestler, the first question on your mind is probably: "Isn't this sport dangerous for my child?" The worry is completely natural. Wrestling is a high-contact sport and, like any other competitive discipline, carries a risk of injury [1][2]. But a reality that many experienced coaches stress is this: a large share of wrestling injuries happen not because of the nature of the sport but because of unstructured training, badly executed technique and neglect of recovery.

In this article from the MHP CLUB knowledge centre, we first get to know the common wrestling injuries, then review the principles of sports injury prevention, and finally explain why a staged training path can noticeably reduce the risk of injury.

Important reminder: this article is for general information and education only and is in no way a substitute for a physician's examination and opinion. Any persistent pain or serious injury must be assessed by a sports physician.
