Whether you're a professional gymnast or an amateur gymnast,injuries increase when you start training and competing.But how do they recover from injury or get back to peak form?

Ice packs or Ice therapy

Gymnasts and other athletes suffer from injuries of varying degrees throughout their careers,but the speed and quality of their recovery is extremely important to them,which determines their next schedule.

You must have seen ice packs,but did you know that ice packs can reduce the risk of injury? You will often see gymnasts use ice packs or ice therapy after competitions with other professional athletes.Because ice packs or ice therapy can reduce pain and swelling in their limbs and muscles after a game.Ice has the effect of constricting blood vessels and slowing blood circulation,which also prevents muscle atrophy.So,ice packs or ice therapy are important for them to prevent or recover from injuries.

Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy refers to the use of different types of electrical current to treat diseases and stimulate your nerves and muscles to speed wound healing.Moreover,electrotherapy also has the effect of massage,promoting blood circulation and relieving pain.However,it is necessary to have sufficient sleep and a good state before electrotherapy,otherwise there will be great side effects.

Rehabilitation Institution

If you are a professional athlete,you will have a professional rehab and medical team on your team,and they will give you professional treatment for your injury.But if you are an amateur gymnast and do not have the conditions to have a rehabilitation specialist and medical team,then you can contact a professional rehabilitation institution,and the rehabilitation specialist of the professional rehabilitation institution will also give you professional advice.

Stretch and Warm up

Whether you're a professional athlete or an amateur, it's important to warm up before you start training and competing. This is very important, because warming up will not only reduce the chance of injury, but also put your body into "exercise mode" ahead of time. Stretching can effectively relieve muscle fatigue and tension, promote recovery, avoid sports injuries, and improve the effect of exercise.

Need attention

1.Psychological.Mental state plays a key role in an athlete's recovery after injury.Some athletes will be more worried during the recovery period,they will worry about their state after recovery and whether they can quickly adapt to the competition.

2.Plan.If you're an older athlete, you need to plan whether you'll be able to continue to play after your injury, or whether you'll be able to remain competitive.If not,then you are planning to retire.

3.Quickly.No matter how serious the injury is, remember not to ignore the injury.If you don't pay attention to it,it will only aggravate your injury.And don't delay.Delaying treatment will only be detrimental to your health,body and future career.
