Over the many years of my training life I have needed to manage a few niggling injuries, like; a torn meniscus in the left knee, nerve impingement under the left shoulder blade, and all of the associated unidentifiable pains and sprains that come and go with just living.
Over this time I've used (as a method of rehab) foam rollers, therabands, massage, yoga, oils, pills, tennis balls and such.
Over five years ago I realized for myself that the only real truly effective method of controlling, healing and mending my niggles was with complete rest, no ice or extreme heat, just rest, when the pain had subsided I found that with patience proper, safe, controlled weight bearing exercise is the only true productive method of repairing and preventing injury.
Also over the years I have noticed there are some exercises that Im not suited to, the biomechanics not right.
Rather than working around them I find exercises that are similar that don't give me grief.
This business of health and fitness is a journey not a destination.
Just my thoughts, thanks.
