It seems that there are two rough groups that I deal with on a day to day basis as a physio and strength and conditioning coach.
People (or athletes) that do too little during injury
People (or athletes) that do too much during injury
Training during your injury is important and the risks of doing nothing then spiking your training load in returning to the field or track are real. But, if you don’t give your body the time it needs to recover, then it can’t heal what you have injured. If both of these extremes can do some simple things to meet in the middle a little more, we could have better outcomes for athletes returning from injury .
