Rest is important after a muscle injury - but rest alone is rarely enough.
While short-term rest helps reduce pain & inflammation, prolonged rest can lead to muscle weakness, stiffness, & reduced load tolerance.
This can make returning to running or gym training more difficult & increase the risk of re-injury ⚠️
Research shows that early, appropriate movement and progressive loading help guide proper muscle healing.
When introduced at the right time, exercise improves tissue quality, restores strength and flexibility, & prepares the muscle for the demands of sport & daily activity 🏃♀️🏋️♂️
This is where biokineticists can help !
Biokineticists understand when to rest, when to move, & how much to load injured tissue so recovery is safe, effective, & long-lasting.
Structured, exercise-based rehabilitation helps you return to activity with confidence & reduces the chance of future injury 💪🏼
