Recovering From Injury.
Recovering From Injury. I would recommend that you follow this plan of attack when you next receive an injury. If it is a muscle or joint injury, give it a couple of days rest, with 3-5 periods a day with ice treatment for 15-20 minutes each time. Then see your doc if it is still sore and follow through on any treatment that he or she suggests. Get to the doc quicker than this if it is obvious that you are going to need to. Once you have clearance to try yourself out on the court, I suggest that you have a solo hit for 20-30 minutes. The next time on the court, arrange to do routines for 45-60 minutes with somebody. Next time on the court, arrange to play somebody that you know that you can beat, so that you are in control of your movement. Now you are ready to have a practice match with somebody of your ability. After this, you should be ready for competition. Also, at this time, consider talking to your fitness professional to find out if you had a specific weakness that may have caused the injury. It may be that they give you some exercises to do to prevent it from happening again. Cheers Rob.
