INJURED? WHAT TO DO?

What should you do if you are injured?  This is a great question that we get asked from time to time.  Personally I see a lot of injury cases in practice and believe that one of the worst things that you can do is come to a complete standstill.  If your arm is hurt, that doesn’t mean that you can’t still squat.  If your knee is tweaked, we can still have you doing pull ups.  Increased blood flow throughout the body, an increase in endocrine response in addition to an elevated post-workout mood will do your body and spirit good.  Does this mean that if you have a broken hand that you should be shoulder pressing and doing burpees?  Not so much.  Isolate the injured area, use the principles of RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) and train the rest of your body.  Trust me on this one.
