Recovery Ideas for Climbers!

To go along with a healthy diet and cross training, easy active recovery time is something often forgotten but equally as important.

Taking Proper Time/Days Off  To Recover

Without taking any time off from high level activities, the body will eventually begin to wear down faster than it can repair itself. This, when kept up long enough, can result in a wide array of injuries including tendonitis, muscle tears, and stress fractures. These types of injuries can vary greatly in severity and are often avoidable or easily treated if addressed quickly. When ignored, however, they can progress to a point where the body breaks down, where a routine activity can result in a muscle tear, torn ligament, or even a fracture. Some warning signs that you may be developing an overuse injury would be consistent pain in the same area, soreness that persists longer than what is normal for you, or aching, throbbing pain while at rest. As always, if you suspect anything may be wrong, it is best to seek medical advice from a doctor or sports medicine specialist.

Not taking time away from a sport can also lead to burnout, a mental exhaustion that is the result of constantly doing the same thing without a break. While burnout is more of a psychological issue, it can actually result in physical injury. Athletes who aren’t devoted to their sport mentally tend to have decreased awareness on the field or develop lazy mechanics, which can result in injury.

Every body is unique and will respond to different methods of treatment better than others; however, the only way to find out the most effective active recovery method for you is to try out a few. Here is a list of some of the recovery methods that seem to be the most effective for climber injuries and pain points.

Cupping

Cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine in which cups are placed on the skin to create suction. Cupping therapy creates the suction with the cups to release muscular tension to promote the healing of a tissues and speed up recovery.

It is also believed to reduce pain and inflammation throughout the body and promote relaxation.

Massage

There are many types of massage, but the most effective for athletes is deep tissue. There is less relaxation but great but for deep trigger points and chronic tightness, regular massage can be a great way to help sooth the body in recovery. Great for relieving stress and tension carried throughout the entire body. Massage can be used for specific trigger points and can also greatly benefit in terms of mobility where areas are locked up or tight.

Lacrosse Ball or Trigger point ball rolling– Massage Balls are great for trigger pointing specific muscle knots, especially for the small muscles that are hard to reach. Can roll against the ground or a wall on pretty much any part of your body. The harder you press into the ball, the more pain along with more release. more:  https://jolitabrilliant.com/benefits-massage-therapy-climbers/
