💊 Having pain? Just reach for the Advil or Aleve, right? Do you or your athlete ROUTINELY do this?
🤔 The pain may be gone, but the problem is still there. You’ve really only done the following
💊 Blocked the warning message your body is giving you
💊 Delayed tissue healing
💊 Interfered with your body’s ability to drive adaptation and improve
💊 increased the risk of GI bleeding
💊 Increased kidney stress
🤕 Inflammation is NOT the enemy. It is part of your body’s natural repair and adaptation cycle. Consistently dulling it can actually:
Slow healing
Mask movement dysfunction
Mask real injury
🤕 Now you, or your athlete, are just training on top of problems that really need to be addressed. Before you know it, the big competition, game, or race is here, and now the NSAIDs aren’t enough and performance suffers.
💪🏽 Before reaching for the “easy fix”, remember that training isn’t easy.
💪🏽 what is your body really trying to tell you?
Consider the following:
😴 are you or your athlete getting adequate sleep that is good quality? (Teenagers 10 hours, adults 8)
🥙 are you or your athlete fueling properly? (PROTEIN, healthy fats and carbs)
🤸♂️ Are you or your athlete moving well?
MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE! So drop the bottle!
