Break The Pain

Raising some awareness 🚨

Whether you injure your shoulder, ankle or any other part of the body, you must take these steps to make sure to get a good assessment of your injury.

In this carousel post I will be telling you some steps I did after I injured my knee.

👉 1. Here’s where my knee dislocated itself. Nothing crazy just sideways moving. It just said, enough.
Overthinking coming, questions after questions.
Why did this happen?
Did I do somthing wrong?
Did I overtrain?
Maaany many questions, but yeah, it’s normal because of being worried.

Next day I had my knee really swollen, so walking was bit hard.
Specially the day.

👉 2. Elevating your injured location, makes it get a better blood flow and helps healing.

👉 3. Starting already some physiotherapy with TENS unit and EMS.
Tens-Decrease pain and helps bloodflow.
Ems- Helps with not loosing the muscle gains. Specially the Quads.

👉 4. And 6. Starting cryotherapy and Icing it daily to help reduce inflammation.

👉 5. Went to a manual therapist who did some lymphatic drainage and already my walking got better.
As in, before I walked like 30%, after the drainage I started walking like 80%.
Big improvement right?
After the liquid in my knee got lowered I went to MRI and consult an orthopedic doctor to have a conclusion and have a projection of what and how I need to work.
What to do, what to avoid.

👉 7,8,9. Knowing what to do and immediately apply it is really important. So movement is medicine is 100% true.

Conclusion.
Don’t sleep on it. Act on it.
Rest is not an option.
Take steps, go to specialists and recover faster.

REBUILD YOUR KNEES - program can get your knees back or make them as strong as possible.
