People with an injury often think that complete rest is the only solution. Nothing is less true. The right training, of course under professional supervision, can actually promote your recovery. In this blog, Rémon Koetje, Lifestyle coach and trainer at Happy Bodies, explains how you can stay active despite injuries and why the Milon circle is so valuable.
The importance of – moderate – exercise during your recovery
Complete rest can sometimes do more harm than good for certain injuries. Light movement and appropriate exercises can improve blood circulation and contribute to the recovery process. This can also prevent your muscles and joints from stiffening, which can slow healing.
Customized workouts are key
Of course, with an injury, you shouldn't bite through the pain like the proverbial headless chicken and continue with your usual training routine. It is important – literally – to take a step back. Leave the heavy weights and high-intensity workouts for a while. Choose adapted exercises under the guidance of an expert. This can help you stay active without aggravating the injury.
The role of a professional
A trained coach can develop a training program that suits your specific situation. He or she can help you select the right exercises. By paying close attention to how you perform an exercise and whether you are not overextending yourself, a coach can ensure that you do not overload your body.
Listen to your body
During recovery from an injury, it is essential to listen carefully to your body. If a particular exercise hurts, stop and talk to your coach. It is important to know the distinction between an exercise that is challenging and one that can be harmful.
