Injuries – You Choose How Long It Takes

It will be better when it’s better. It just takes 4-6 weeks. I’ll get back to sport after then. This is the kind of mind set that is limiting for injury recovery.

If you choose to:

Not wear a moonboot when advised with a stress fracture

Not leave your arm in a sling for a collar bone fracture for 4 weeks

Not rest, ice, compress and elevate the injury for 48-72 hours post acute injury

Not consult a Physio for a treatment management plan and rehabilitation exercises

Then you could be choosing for a longer period of immobility, injury, pain and less function but you could also be choosing for recurrence of the same injury in the future.
