SIDELINED BY A SPORTS INJURY?
Has a sports injury taken you out of the game?
Whether you're dealing with a recent injury or lingering issues from past trauma, sports injuries can keep you from doing what you love. From weekend warriors to competitive athletes, being unable to participate in your sport impacts both your physical and mental well-being.
The impact of a sports injury goes beyond just the pain:
-
Missing games or training sessions
-
Losing hard-earned progress and conditioning
-
Worrying about re-injury when you return to activity
-
Feeling disconnected from your team or training partners
-
Frustrated by generic recovery timeframes that don't fit your needs
-
Concerned about long-term performance impacts
And perhaps worst of all - the uncertainty about whether you'll be able to return to your pre-injury level of performance.
But a sports injury doesn't have to mean a long-term setback. With the right approach to treatment and recovery, you can get back to your sport safely and effectively.
COMMON SPORTS INJURY RECOVERY METHODS (AND WHY THEY MAY NOT BE ENOUGH)
Many athletes try these traditional approaches:
-
RICE Method (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation)
While this can help manage immediate swelling and pain, the inflammation that causes the swelling and the pain is part of the healing process, and subverting or preventing it can lead to longer term issues. Additionally, studies have shown that gentle movement is often better for healing. Regardless, even if you opt for RICE (or one of its variations), proper rehabilitation requires more than just waiting for time to pass.
-
General Strengthening Exercises
Basic exercises might help, but without addressing the underlying issues, you risk re-injury or developing compensatory problems.
-
Return To Activity Too Soon
Eagerness to get back to your sport can lead to premature return to activity, potentially causing more serious injuries or even chronic issues.
-
"Playing Through The Pain"
This traditional sports mentality can transform a minor sports injury into a major problem that affects your long-term athletic career.
