Rib injuries are some of the most difficult types of injuries to treat.
They hinder pretty much every aspect of movement and have a tendency to get re-injured easily and also tend to linger due to frequent re-injury.

Here are my 8 tips that will help speed up your recovery and get you back on the mats and back to normal life safely and with less risk of re-injury.

Here are some of the links to videos referenced:

The post Calling Out Steroid Use in Jiu-Jitsu | A Fistful of Collars S2 E7 appeared first on jitseasy.

Bad posture and pain limit not only everyday life but will also make training jiu-jitsu difficult. Corrective exercises as well as mobility techniques are extremely important to prevent injury, improve function, and ultimately allow you to train harder and more frequently with less likelihood to get injured.

It is much easier to prevent an injury than it is recover from one.

This video has 3 techniques that are effective and very important to address your impairments and limitations and ultimately help prevent injury. Only perform these exercises to comfort.

1. Thoracic extension over a foam roller. 1-2 minutes

2. Archer exercise. 10 repetitions.

3. Standing trunk bends with arm reach. 10 repetitions.

If you are in the Louisville area and dealing with injuries, reach out at https://www.proformrehab.com/ to see how we can help you get back to training.
