Balance | Harmony | Truth Your HEALTH Is Your WEALTH! Resolve to put your overall health a priority in 2020 by practicing real self-care. Particularly allowing time for recovery and resting, especially after an injury. In truth, it takes on average 6 weeks or longer (depending on the severity) for injuries to heal. However, many patients 'FOMO' rush back into their full workout/exercise routine without allowing for the proper repair phase to happen and consequently risk re-injury that may result in more lost downtime. Consider osteopathic treatment as part of your self-care for prevention and rehabilitation. When indicated, modify your activities or training to gradually get back to full health - otherwise, re-injuries are often worse.
