Injuries Happen 🤕

👉🏼 BUT perhaps the worst thing we can do when something is tweaked is complete stop training.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
✅ Exercise has great pain inhibition effects. ⁠⁠
✅ Pumping blood into an area helps with inflammation. ⁠⁠
✅ Loading tissues appropriately helps the healing process. ⁠⁠
✅ Exercise has great health benefits that shouldn't be stopped.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
🚨 Rest is rarely the answer. 🚨
⁠⁠
Use these six strategies to keep your training up while letting injured tissues recover.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
1. Adjust the range of motion⁠⁠
2. Adjust loading⁠⁠
3. Use exercise variations⁠⁠
4. Train the uninjured side⁠⁠
5. Unload irritated tissues⁠⁠
6. Use Blood flow restriction training.
