Q: Can I continue to exercise with an injury? ❓
A: The good news - in most cases - YES! ✅
For some acute injuries such as a broken bone, rest is still the best management initially. However, for most injuries, rest alone is rarely the answer. This is because simply resting after an injury helps the pain to ease but resulting in muscle weakness, scar tissue, and reduced blood flow, which can cause the problem to worsen again on return to normal activities or exercise.
👍 Instead, our physiotherapists will prescribe exercises that mimic your chosen activity and are appropriate for your stage of healing. This is known as relative rest - workload on the body is reduced, but not removed, to maximise recovery. Your training plan will be modified, allowing you to keep exercising alongside your rehab where possible.
