FLIP THE SCRIPT S3 EP.3

In this episode I chat with about all things injury prevention and rehabilitation.

From adding low intensity cardiovascular exercise into your daily life, to being less specific about the way you train, seeing yourself as human first athlete second, we discuss some of the errors we all make when seeking to avoid injury or rehab injury.

Loved having Owen on the podcast and feel free to drop Owen a DM if you’re struggling with an injury or would like to get back to playing sport.

Lifting weights can have a number of health benefits as you age. Some of the most notable benefits include:

💪 Increased muscle mass and strength: As you age, your muscle mass and strength naturally decline. However, lifting weights can help to counteract this decline, allowing you to maintain or even build muscle mass and strength as you get older.

💪 Improved bone density: Lifting weights puts stress on your bones, which can help to stimulate bone growth and increase bone density. This can reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle.

💪 Better balance and stability: Lifting weights can help to improve your balance and stability, which can reduce the risk of falls and injuries.

💪 Improved cardiovascular health: Lifting weights can also improve your cardiovascular health, by raising your heart rate and reducing your risk of heart disease.

💪 Better mental health: Regular weightlifting can also have a positive impact on mental health as well as it can be a good stress reliever, increase self-esteem, and self-efficacy and improve moods.

💪 Improved sleep quality: Regular weightlifting may also lead to a better quality of sleep.

💪 It's important to note that older adults should make sure to work with a qualified trainer or Athletic Therapist to develop a safe and appropriate workout plan. Also, the workout should be adjusted to the individual's capability and health condition. It is recommended that older adults get clearance from their Athletic Therapist before starting a weightlifting program.

It is important to maintain levels of activity while injured because it can help prevent further injury or worsening of the injury, as well as help maintain physical fitness and overall health. Maintaining some level of activity can also help with recovery, as it can promote circulation, reduce stiffness and swelling, and maintain muscle strength and flexibility. Additionally, maintaining activity can help prevent feelings of isolation and depression that can sometimes occur during an injury, and it can help maintain mental well-being and a sense of normalcy.

Changing the narrative slightly on being injured, with a focus shift on what you can do while injured, rather than solely focusing on what you can’t. 🤗

This post is self-explanatory, above are some possible options of what you can do with a lower body injury! 💪🏻

Please note
1) This isn’t a stand-alone list. There are many variations that could be applied, this is simply a guide of options to get you thinking, whether you’re the injured person or perhaps coach yourself and have a client with an injury.
2) I would advise getting medical clearance from your therapist (athletic therapist/physio/consultant… whoever you’re getting treatment from!) for the above exercises. Every injury is individual and therefore so is rehab and the return to exercise in the meantime.
Often times rehab can look similar between injuries, but it’s frequency/intensity/time of use/reintroduction of higher level exercises is totally individualised.

Basically - make sure you get the green light formally from your care provider, and I hope this is hopeful to shed some light on the reminder that you can often times train around injury, rather than having to rest fully.

According to the HSE; Every adult should be active. Some physical activity is better than none, more is better than some, and any amount of physical activity you do results in health benefits.

At least 30mins a day or 150mins per week of moderate activity. Moderate activity is when breathing and heart rate increase, but a conversation is still possible.

Find what you love, or like, or even just tolerate. Try it all. I've tried so many things from weight lifting, pilates, swimming, yoga, triathlon, kickboxing, rugby, the list goes on. Some things will stick, and some won't hold your interest, but 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝗻𝗲.

According to the World Health Organisation, physical activity “interacts positively with strategies to improve diet, discourages the use of to***co, alcohol and drugs, helps reduce violence, enhances functional capacity and promotes social interaction and integration.”

It's always great to represent Athletic Therapy at Irish Life Dublin Marathon as part of the FestiMed crew. The next stop is recognition from the HSE Ireland and the Roinn Sláinte, Department of Health

Athletic Rehabilitation Therapy Ireland (ARTI) is the governing body responsible for the promotion, regulation, and continued education of Certified Athletic Therapists in Ireland.
