Running Injuries - Learn How They Heal

[@AndreasScherzler-sk8md]

A really good summary how injury works and what to do.

[@jeanlee28]

Thank you. I feel like crying watching this video. On the 3rd week since the repair surgery of the 5th metatarsal fracture now. As a runner of 20 something years, it is so hard to be in this setback. 😢

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

It is awful when you can't do what you love but try and find other positive things to keep you busy. Also, resist the urge to rush your rehab - the recovery from this can feel very long but it is totally worth sticking to the slow process to avoid flare-ups and ensure a good strong comeback.

[@jeanlee28]

@@SportsInjuryPhysio Thanks a million for your peptalk and precious advice. Yes, now 2 months have passed my surgery and I am in the orthopedic rehab sessions. I believe I will make a defiant comeback to my favorite thing to do (i.e., running ^^) soon.

[@SuperYtc1]

@@jeanlee28 How did it go?

[@jeanlee28]

@SuperYtc1 Thank you for asking! I can't believe the surgery was almost 2 years ago. After the surgery and a couple of rehab sessions, I was given a green light by my doctor to resume running (but mildly without pushing myself too much at all). I have gradually increased mileage, listening to my body. Now, I am grateful that I am able to log 8 miles a day every day. 🙏🙏🙏

​@@jeanlee28wow, good to hear!

[@sankalpdavar7941]

Thanks for such a detailed explanation. I have been struggling to understand how to get running again faster. This helps immensely doc.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@whippedbakeshop533]

This is a fantastic explanation of injury recovery. Thank you!

[@alkautharharun9603]

May i know the timeframe for proliferation and remodelling phase?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

It depends on the extent of the injury and what type of tissue it is. It can be anything from 3 weeks to several months.

[@gautamnagvekar9934]

Exceedingly excellent explaination. Best explanation ever on the whole internet. Thank you

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You're very welcome!

[@Rukain]

Very helpful. Thank you for the video!!

[@sukeshsubaharan4324]

Great work, doc! I guess training unaffected muscle groups in relative rest must be done with some care. The example where you suggested triceps work when the bicep is injured would probably do more harm than good, imo. When you go through a tricep push down, the controlled negative (which is an essential part of the movement) would place a fair bit of strain on the biceps too. So I guess it would be a good idea to avoid antagonist muscle groups, in such cases, and maybe slowly build up

[@sanjeevpathak8073]

Step by step, nice explains.... thanks

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You are welcome

[@subbysibuyas1916]

Should i start walking on 2nd phase for 20 minutes every other day (increasing gradually) and do strengthening exercises for my overuse soleus on the 3rd phase?

[@mitchatkins7402]

Great video and explanation, thank you. Would you say the soreness in the legs after a marathon is minor inflammation or not? So would there need to be a healing time in the way you explain?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Yes, your body takes a rather large beating in a marathon and you definitely need to take a week or two to recover. There will be low level inflammation involved and it is important NOT to take antiinflammatories (NSAIDS) because it will inhibit your body's ability to repair.

[@TnYnk]

Thank you fot the explanation. This is very helpful.

VERY THINKFULL TO YOU

[@joeschaab18]

I have golfers elbow from probably doing 2 many push-ups too soon. Is the rehab of tendons the same as for muscle?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

No, tendons are a bit more fickle - You can find some info on golfer's elbow here kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2LYfGxrjrR7m9k

[@josephinewallis8693]

Thank you for all your info Can you explain why my left pectoral minor hurts “like a bite “ after 7 months post injury.( from a severe blow to the chest moving a mattress) All range of motion is present without pain or weakness during my now moderate arm only exercises but later in the day I feel the slight burn/bite sensation. I do remember over straining the injury 2 months into the healing and backed off completely for a few months. Thank you

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

The pain you describe can be coming from the muscles but it may also be referred pain from your ribs or a little nerve that is irritated. I can’t really be more specific - it would be best if you see someone who can assess it for you.

[@MCFitnessPT]

I’ve currently got a groin strain, it’s incredibly frustrating not being able to run.

[@prof.dr.rajaniyer140]

Pls suggest For Complete ACL tear due to RTA..Want to avoid Surgery.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

The best way to go about it is to consult a physiotherapist who can work out a progressive rehab programme for you.

[@akshi.b]

Hello, did you recover?

[@EATAJR]

Nice info. Makes perfect sense!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Glad you think so!

[@navalshukla3899]

Absolutely magnificent

[@laemperatriz1982]

Hi there Training for a marathon I woke up with an i jury after a 25k run. The pain was unbearable for almost 2 month and my right leg barely could walk. Needless to say stopped me from running the marathon as the injury didnt feel any better till after 3/ and a half. Now it's been 5 months and I am starting to run again but I feel my right leg is not the same anymore, feels slightly sore but I can run it just feel something is not like it used to be before injury. Is it possible a tendon or muscle has grown thicker? What would you recomend to keep running but make that strange uncomfortable feeling go away completely?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

It would be better if you consulted a physio who can assess you and diagnose it and give you the correct advice. What you should do will depend on what it is that is actually injured and you can’t tell what’s injured without getting you to perform specific movement tests + taking a detailed symptom history. Just trying to run through this type of thing usually doesn’t work that well. This is something that our team of physios can help you with via video call.

[@gautamnagvekar9934]

Same problem here

[@hoodace4420]

Amazing

[@pf4186]

I have a groin injury that won't go away. It's very hard to come to terms with the fact that I might not run again. Nothing helps; I've tried rest, stretching, strengthening, and combinations of the three. It hasn't improved even slightly in 7 months.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

It doesn't have to be for always. Sometimes we can actually cause more irritation by trying too much rehab and all that is needed is a prolonged break from sport and rehab exercises, and then a slow build it up. It can really help if you can find a different activity that you can do in the meantime to help you stay fit - it won't be same as running but will help you feel better than just resting e.g. cycling or swimming using only arms If you wanted help figuring this out, this is something that our team of physios can assess and help you with via video call and my colleagues Kevin, Barry and Dominic are very experienced in helping athletes recover from groin injuries..

Hi, I'm a Football⚽ player. I got hit in the front part of my left thigh by someone's elbow. Now, I can't run. I'm resting & just doing casual day to day work.
