It’s important not only to know the positive steps for your recovery, but also the things to avoid. Understanding what not to do can help prevent setbacks and ensure a smoother healing journey. Let’s take a look at some common pitfalls to avoid during your recovery.

🚫 What NOT to Do During Injury Recovery

When you're healing, some habits can actually slow you down or cause setbacks. Here are a few things to avoid:

🔴 Overdoing it – Pushing too hard can worsen your injury. Rest is key in the early stages.

🔴 Ignoring pain signals – Sharp or increasing pain means you need to slow down or seek help.

🔴 Skipping professional guidance – Trying to self-diagnose or self-treat can lead to improper healing.

🔴 Neglecting nutrition and hydration – Your body needs the right fuel and water to heal effectively.

🔴 Relying solely on painkillers – Overuse can mask symptoms and delay proper healing.

📌 Healing Times + How to Care for Injuries

Different injuries heal at different speeds — from a few days for muscle soreness to several months for tendons, ligaments, or bone.
The charts show general timelines, but what you do during recovery makes a big difference.

Follow PEACE in the first few days:
🕊 Protection – Avoid painful activities
⬆️ Elevation – Keep the area raised
💊 Avoid anti-inflammatories – They may slow healing
🌀 Compression – Use bandaging or taping
📚 Education – Trust your body and avoid unnecessary treatments

Then move to LOVE as pain settles:
🏋️ Load – Gradually return to activity
🙂 Optimism – A positive mindset helps recovery
❤️ Vascularisation – Gentle cardio to boost blood flow
💪 Exercise – Restore strength and mobility

If you’re unsure what stage you’re in or how to progress safely, I can help.
