Yoga Injury Treatment Tips and Methods
The most important thing to understand the injury is to understand the type of injured tissue
1. The healing time of the tendons connecting muscles and bones is 6-8 days
2. Ligaments connect bones to bones
3. Bones
4. Causes of injury caused by cartilage
pressure
Nutrient intake
Health status/overload
age
Bad skills
Insufficient warm-up exercises/most important projects
respiratory
Breathing cools the nervous system and relieves some of the tightness in the muscles. Even if people feel tense and stressed at work, deep and even breathing will help them calm down and reduce pain, cramps, and possible damage that may be caused by panic.
inflammation
Inflammation is a response to damage to body tissue, which may mean increased blood flow to the injured area, allowing white blood cells to clear dead tissue and perform the treatment process. In order to control excessive redness, replace damaged tissue and avoid pain, immediate application of ice (heat) to the injured area is an absolutely necessary first step in injury management
1. REST rest to avoid stress in the injured area
2. ICE ice apply to the injured area with ice or soda treatment
3. COMPRESSION Ice apply an elastic band to the injured area, which will penetrate into the affected area as liquid.
4. ELEVATION Lift the affected area higher than the heart, which can allow liquid to flow out to the outside, or reduce the pressure of blood in the blood vessels (especially if the injured area is on the ankles and feet). When the affected area appears paralyzed, the ice compress should be removed. The ice compress time depends on the size of the affected area. Ice water (block) will relieve inflammation and redness, and paralysis the affected area can solve pain and muscle cramping problems.
How to tell if acute injuries require immediate medication
If you experience any discomfort or after acute injury, a dispensing prescription will be required
1. Feel (hear) the sound of explosion or rupture at the same time when you are injured again
2. Deformity of the injured part
3. 25% or more of the area loses function
4. Feeling nausea/vomiting/dizzy or fainting
5. Multiple pain
How to return to yoga after injury
Effective treatment methods: Keep the number of scars on injured tissue to a minimum, and also arrange and maintain pressure on the injured tissue fibers. The main goal is to maintain functional scars
Go back to practice: Don't repeat injuries in the same area and resume the exercise as early as possible. Only practice non-painful postures. Do some stretching and strengthening exercises after the injury has healed (as aggressively as possible), and do some postures after 2-4 weeks (depending on the area of the injury). You may feel uncomfortable but not painful. If you do too much and too fast, you will damage the area again, resulting in more scarring, loss of function or more. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
