3 things that can make or break your recovery from pain?
1. Movement
This helps with circulation amongst other benefits- good blood flow is vital for recovery.
No movement also builds more fear when you have to, due to avoiding it before.
2. Nutrition and hydration
You know not to run a car on empty, so what makes your body any different?
Food should be enjoyed, but at the end of the day it is fuel.
In this instance, fuel for the body systems that help with repair and recovery.
Calories, protein and carb intake, water.
They all matter, and most adults are way off what they actually need.
3. Sleep
The most important of them all.
Poor sleep = the silent killer for injury recovery.
This is where the all the important stuff goes on in the body - inflammation regulation, CNS recovery, protein synthesis etc.
Simple as that.
Want to escape pain or stay pain-free?
Make sure you’re doing these before anything else.
Yes they’re not going to make you invincible, but they’ll help a lot more long term than a quick fix will.
