Never been into or a fan of ice cold water, ice baths, or ice plunges …& I don’t recommend ice for much except a G & T ……not even injuries 😱

When we treat Bone Stress Injuries we need to factor in everything that can assist bone healing.

This includes getting adequate sleep, modified activities, improving function, optimising biomechanics, rest/recovery, stress reduction and DIET.

Ensuring your diet is full of the nutrients, minerals & vitamins you need is essential for recovery from these frustrating injuries.

I recommend seeing a sports dietician if you need more specific advice or are training, competing at a high level to ensure your diet is adequate for the needs of your sport.

Thanks for this great Infographic from energysportsdietitian 🥰
