Radical Recovery – 4 Secrets to Getting Back on Your Feet Fast After an Injury

4 Secrets to Getting Back on Your Feet Fast After an Injury

No one likes being sick or injured. Your main goal is to get back onto your feet as quickly as possible. The problem with this is that pain is a great demotivator and it can be quite easy to wallow in. Luckily, these four secrets require minimal effort and can provide great rewards when used as a game plan for recovery:

Get the right help. 

When you’re in pain and experiencing difficulty moving, you’re not going to be motivated to get out of the house and off to physiotherapy. It is, however, a vital ingredient for recovery. Save yourself the trouble and contact a reliable mobile physiotherapy practitioner. Not only are these services far more convenient, but they also remove the traveling excuse which will help you stick to your rehab plan and get back on your feet faster.

Take baby steps.

Take the time to properly heal. When you’re healing, it’s important to realize that you may not be able to be as physical or do everything you did before your injury. Generally, people will either try to rest as much as possible or jump straight back into how they did things before they were injured. Both can be equally detrimental. You don’t want to spend too long after your injury waiting around for it to heal itself but you also shouldn’t push yourself too hard. Get clearance from your doctor to practice your rehab activities alone and make sure you do a little bit each day. Baby steps are key here so don’t feel bad if you can’t do much at first.

Improve your diet.

There’s always room for improvement in anyone’s diet. Data shows that certain nutrients and foods can help your body heal itself, so add a ton of these into your regular meals. While you’re taking the time to heal,  assess your overall eating habits. When we’re as close as we can be to peak health, we’re less likely to hurt ourselves in the first place.

Prevention is the best cure.

Speaking of stopping ourselves from getting hurt in the first place, working out how to protect yourself from recurring injuries should be part of your recovery plan. The unfortunate truth is that now you’ve injured yourself, whatever body part you hurt is more susceptible to future damage so you’ll need to be careful moving forward.

Keeping up regular strength-building exercises, even after you are no longer required by your doctor to do so is a good idea, as is devising a workout plan that will help keep the rest of your body fit. Routines are not only great physically, but mentally, as well. Refer back to point two and remember not to overdo things when you’re setting your goals for this step but remember that the worst thing you can do at this point is nothing as an injury is often a sign of underlying problems.

At the end of the day, there’s a reason they call it the road to recovery and everything takes time. Integrating these secrets will help you heal safely and efficiently but expecting too much too soon will leave you disappointed. Take it one step, and one day, at a time and be proud of how far you’ve come rather than sad about how far you have to go.
