RECOVERY ADVICE ⬇️
🟠Stay consistent:
•Staying consistent with your rehabilitation exercises is key to successful recovery from injury. You may have good days and bad days, but stick to your plan. This is how you will overcome range of motion restrictions, pain and strength imbalances
🟠Focus on the small wins:
•With long term injuries, it is very easy to become frustrated that your functionality is limited and the thought of playing sport again can feel so far away!
Focusing on the smaller goals such as walking again, regaining full range of motion and no more swelling will help you stay motivated and on track with your recovery.
🟠Don't neglect sleep and nutrition:
•You don't just recovery whilst training. Eating right and getting adequate sleep is also part of the recovery and healing process.
🟠Stay positive:
•As previously mentioned, it is easy to become upset and frustrated. Use your therapist and support system (family and friends) to help you through the process.
🟠Don't rush:
•Long term injuries such as ACL reconstruction, fractures and tendon ruptures take time to heal. It is important to be patient with these as rushing can lead to improper healing and further complications in the future.
