There’s nothing like the great outdoors to get you active and inspired. Fortunately, the South Shore area offers miles of walking paths and hiking trails including World’s End which features beautiful rolling hills, rocky shorelines and sweeping views of the Boston skyline and Wompatuck State Park which has a great introductory hike called the Heart Health Loop. The best part about hiking is that nearly anyone can do it, including families with children. You don’t have to be an experienced hiker or have ever even

hiked before. Whatever your experience level, before you set out it’s important

that you are aware of the most common hiking injuries as well as how to

prevent and treat them.
