"Oh yeah, I popped my rib out last week. I think I'll take off live rolls this week but I'll be back next class."
"My low back keeps flaring up. I just need to take a bit more time off."
"Yeah I got a concussion during my fight but I feel fine. I will be back to sparring next week."
If you get an injury, your tissues are likely compromised to some capacity. Sure, some injuries may heal with time and movement, but a vast majority of true injuries require intervention to ensure they can handle the demands of your sport.
If you are a combat athlete, you HAVE to find a provider that understands these demands. If you need helping finding one, check out database of qualified providers or reach out to me directly and we can chat!
