Stay fit while recovering from an injury

An injury or other kind of limitation can affect your fitness routine. This could be a frustration for those who love to stay fit but unable to do so while they are recovering from an injury. But there are ways to get around without impacting the recovery process and certain fitness activities may even help the recovery.

Pilates is one of those activities one can practice while recovering from a physical injury. Many Pilates practitioners are well trained to help with those who are recovering from surgeries including hip replacement, knee and back surgery, shoulder surgery, wrist and foot surgery. Pilates can be practiced with debilitating conditions that may affect your fitness routine including stroke, herniated disc, scoliosis, vertigo, whiplash and even osteoporosis. Pilates can be performed while you are taking physical therapy or as a bridge or gap connection to your recovery. Pilates is not limited to certain amount of time as compared to physical therapy. All these are possible due to Pilates’ concept of “no pain.” Pilates can be tailored to suit your needs and improve your recovery process by working on specific areas such as muscles and helps to ease muscle tightness and imbalance.
