Winter is certainly here and for those of you who injure out in the cold remember that hopping into a hot bath once you get home is likely to make matters worse not better, especially if there is acute inflammation- better to stick to the RICE program (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation).
If you are waiting for your injury to go away don’t wait more than 5 days or you may end up with more problems as a result of poor healing or compensation patterns.
Always best to get some advice from one of our team of Physios- even if you only need a couple of sessions, we can tell you how to get the best resolution of the problem.
Ensuring your body gets the best of care- so you can get the best out of life.
Here are some tips to help ensure a successful, speedy resolution.
- Don’t wait too long before seeking help– excess swelling and inappropriate healing (e.g. scar tissue or lack of flexibility in the injured tissue) can lead to secondary problems.
- Make sure you get the treatment you need initially– missing sessions in the initial phase can mean the whole thing just drags on for longer – which is frustrating for everyone!
- Rest from you sport if need be– the injured tissue needs to heal! Your Physio will let you know how you can stay fit doing other activities.
- Do your homework! Your exercises and management of the injury is vital- we only see you a very short time out of the day so what you do the rest of the time is critical!
- Make sure any long term management issues are dealt with– e.g. underlying muscle imbalances (like a weak core/tight muscles/weak muscles), the technique you are using to do an activity or even your day to day posture.
