Keeping fit whilst injured
GET FIT & MEAN IT! with World Champion Kate Bramley
Most people who lead a physically active lifestyle will sustain an injury at some point. Often there are many contributing factors including – muscle imbalances, incorrect recovery or nutrition, incorrect technique, increasing exercise too quickly or simply an accident. It is important to not let injury stop you from being active. You can use these times to rest a part of your body but then focus on something else. For example, if you cannot run, can you walk? Do strength & conditioning? More swimming or water aerobics etc. Get the advice from a trusted sport physician before recommencing exercise whilst injured and ask what you can do, instead of what you can’t do. You might also consider taking a natural pain relief such as Cabot’s Natural Pain Manager capsules.
