Injury Management

INJURY MANAGEMENT: Sprains and strains are the most common types of injuries in the gym. These involve ligaments, tendons, and muscles rather than bone. You’re usually still able to move the affected area, but it hurts. You may even see be a bit of swelling and even bruising, but nothing looks out of place. Fractures tend to be a lot more painful than sprains and strains, and you may not be able to move the injured area at all. Keep in mind these are general rules, so when in doubt, get it checked out. Short of that, most sprains and strains are self-resolving and do not require medical intervention. Here are a few helpful guidelines for self-management: 1. Immediately after the injury, rest the affected area. DO NOT continue to push through the pain. While you CAN continue to train, avoid any exercise that aggravates your symptoms. 2. After at least a couple of weeks, if you are experiencing minimal to no pain and swelling seems to have subsided, start to carefully expose the area modest amounts of training stress. DO NOT resume where you left off. Dial it WAY back, see how you tolerate the movement, and then gradually ramp it up, stopping short of the point where you begin to experience pain. Two ways to dial back the intensity are to limit the range-of-motion and/or using a lighter weight. 3. Finally, be patient. Sprains and strains may take 6 weeks or more to fully resolve. If your symptoms aren’t gradually improving during that time, it’s time to see a health care professional, because there may be something else going on. In the meanwhile, there are plenty of ways to work around the injury and continue training. Thanks for watching! #fitness #gym #workout #injury #rehab #personaltrainer
