Getting injured is frustrating, It happens to all of us at some point. It is how we respond to the injury that can make or break our recovery.
Hereโs what to avoid to come back stronger:
1๏ธโฃ Bed Rest
Completely resting for too long causes your muscles, joints, and connective tissues to weaken. Early, gentle movement (under the right guidance) promotes blood flow, nutrient delivery, and tissue repair. Motion truly is medicine.
2๏ธโฃ Relying on NSAIDs
Painkillers can temporarily mask discomfort, but they also block inflammation, which is a necessary part of the healing process. Long-term NSAID use can slow tissue repair and even affect gut health.
3๏ธโฃ Cutting Calories
Healing requires energy. If youโre eating less because youโre moving less, your body wonโt have the nutrients it needs to rebuild tissue. Prioritize protein, omega-3s, and micronutrients that support recovery.
4๏ธโฃ Self-Diagnosing
Itโs tempting to turn to Google or ChatGPT ๐, but guessing wrong can lead to delayed healing or chronic issues. A proper evaluation ensures youโre treating the root cause instead of just chasing symptoms.
5๏ธโฃ Rushing Recovery
Going back too soon often leads to re-injury. Your tissues need time to remodel and regain strength. Respect the process, and focus on quality rehab, not speed.
โผ๏ธBonus: Panicking
Itโs easy to spiral and think youโve โruinedโ your season , but stress hormones can actually slow healing. Stay calm, stay proactive, and remember: recovery is part of training.
