Rehab #2

X - rays 

So I went back to the pitch before time and ended up re- injuring myself. Now I have to recover from scratch all over again. The positive thing though is this time I am using professional help. I went and got scanned to check if any bones were broken. Thank God nothing was broken. The doctors assessment was that I got a serious sprain and I tore some ligaments so I had to rest first and do some rehab exercises once the pain diminishes.






The worst thing about this injury is that I have not been able to play football for around 3 weeks now.
The positive thing though is that my body has had a chance to rest and I have had time to reflect on how I train.

Some advise I got from the Nike Academy Coaches was the following:

The early stage of recovery should be dictated by your physiotherapist. This includes RICE principles.In your late stages of rehab you can focus on stability. Patterning the ankle again through weight bearing lunges and step up to balance will help you.They will train proprioception and improve stability.

So rehab exercises begin today again.
