A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

How long do sprains take to heal to the extent that you don’t feel them any longer? A long fucking time. 

I fought a car at ETH Denver and earned a sprained wrist. I gave the PT very high, consistent daily attention for 5 months. I had ~90% range of motion back by 3 months. It’s now 8 months and it’s the first time I’ve been able to hold a handstand fully waited without pain, still at about 97% on recovery. 

No alcohol, great sleep and diet, no processed sugar, well hydrated, 8 months to < 100% 

Without attention and discipline, a simple sprain can become a lifelong injury

As simple as sprain sounds, if not taken care properly one could have limited range of motion for life

As a physiotherapist, we tend to let our patients know the consequences of not staying fully committed to the treatment process. cause of course the outcome of the sessions depends on the patient’s active participation

love that you gave PT your all… kind of patients we prefer to see.. lol

yeah it is frustrating at times, i mean we’re trying to get them better but they don’t stick to the exercise instructed

That’s why we try to recommend very easy exercises for the home program and we take care of the harder ones when they come in for session, i don’t know if you experienced that during your sessions too

I would find your job insanely difficult, it’s gotta be frustrating to hear people’s words and then see their actions say something entirely different. Thank you for caring 🙏 at least there is a mountain of much more valuable info about recovery than there was 10 years ago.
