Have you ever been injured from sports or work? Did you manage the injury properly? Find out more on what full recovery means.
We are now living in a fast paced world and it is understandable that we want quick and effective results. In most cases, we would reach out to the quickest and most convenient fix that is painkiller and rest from the activities until it feels better.
The scenario probably applies to 90% of us. Let’s have a look at why this is only solving half the problem and what impact this has on your body.
A simple soft tissue injury (muscle strain, ligament sprain, tendon bruising) can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks to repair and heal. It is true that the pain will probably be resolved by the end of this period. However, that is only half the equation solved.

On top of that, your body will start adopting a different posture or walking pattern during this 2-8 weeks period to compensate for the injured region.
The net effects from this mismanagement of injury could result in:

The net effects from this mismanagement of injury could result in:
- Pain in adjacent region from compensation. Eg. Neck pain from shoulder injury.
- Higher chance of reinjury due to weakness in the new structure.
What we have here is a vicious cycle that could make an initial simple injury into a chronic problem that is detrimental to our joint health.
