Injured? Don't quit moving entirely—strategic, safe exercise can be a game-changer in your recovery journey.
While rest is crucial for initial healing, incorporating appropriate physical activity under professional guidance (this part is the MOST important) helps restore movement and function, alleviates pain, and even prevents future injuries by strengthening the affected areas.
Building muscle strength, stabilising joints, and supporting overall stability makes your body more resilient as you heal.
Beyond the physical perks, exercise releases endorphins that boost your mood, reduce stress, and combat the mental fog that often comes with downtime. Don't let the negative voices win while you are recovering, move your body in a way that is safe and comfortable. It can improve your psychological outlook, keeping you motivated and positive during recovery.
Remember, this isn't about pushing through pain; it's about smart, moderate movement tailored to your injury. Always consult an allied health professional who specialises in inury rehabilitation first to help create a plan that fits you!
