Why regular activity does you good
Beyond the pleasure of playing, regular physical activity strengthens your cardiovascular system, your bones, your joints and your muscles. It also has a recognised positive impact on mental health.
The World Health Organization recommends between 150 and 300 minutes of moderate activity, or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous activity, every week.
The risks of a poorly prepared return
What can happen
Tendinitis or a sprain linked to a too-fast return
A stress fracture from too abrupt a progression
A muscle injury from a lack of preparation
An increased risk of the initial injury coming back
The progressive return method
An effective return starts with regaining an active everyday lifestyle, before progressively increasing the duration and then the difficulty of sessions.
The physiotherapist’s role is precisely to build exercises specific to your sport into your rehab, to prepare this return in the best conditions.
