People with injuries often think complete rest is the only solution. Nothing could be further from the truth. The right training, of course under professional supervision, can actually promote your recovery. In this blog post, Rémon Koetje, Lifestyle coach and trainer at Happy Bodies, explains how to stay active despite injuries and why the Milon Circle is so valuable.
Complete rest can sometimes do more harm than good for certain injuries. Gentle exercise and modified exercises can improve blood circulation and aid the recovery process. This can also prevent your muscles and joints from stiffening, which can delay healing.
Of course, with an injury, you shouldn't just push through the pain like a headless chicken and continue with your usual workout routine. It's important to take a step back—literally. Put the heavy weights and high-intensity workouts aside for a while. Opt for modified exercises under the guidance of an expert. This can help you stay active without aggravating the injury.
A trained coach can develop a training program tailored to your specific situation. They can help you select the right exercises. By paying close attention to how you perform an exercise and ensuring you don't overexert yourself, a coach can ensure you don't overload your body.
During injury recovery, it's essential to listen carefully to your body. If a particular exercise is painful, stop and consult your coach. It's important to know the difference between an exercise that's challenging and one that could be harmful.
The Milon circle is specifically designed to tailor your training to your physical condition, as I've written about in a previous blog post. This innovative approach allows you to train without aggravating your injury, as the equipment is tailored to your personal needs and limitations. This way, you benefit from the perfect balance between training and recovery.
