Knee damage

[Teddybob]

Haven’t been on for a week or so as I have twisted my knee, believe it or not mowing the lawn lol.

Anyone got a means to speed up recovery as I’m desperate to get running again

Well I'm not a physio, but I suspect trying to speed your recovery up may delay your recovery in the long run. I'm getting over some injuries and I know how frustrating it is...

[Teddybob Graduate10 in reply to Lizcanrun]

I fear you are right but you have to ask lol

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

I agree with Lizcanrun the fastest way to recover is to not run too soon. Rest up, maybe add some support strapping, and plan some new routes in your downtime. Happy resting🤗

Boo hoo 😂It’s the answer I was expecting but…

We’re all wishing you the speediest of recoveries 🤗

Thanks fingers crossed

Bummer. Wishing you speedy recovery.

In the meantime, why not do some Strength and Flex work that doesn’t use your knees? We have quite a few workouts for this in our sister forum Strength and Flex.

For instance

- arms only lying healthunlocked.com/strength...

- arms only standing healthunlocked.com/strength...

Or the chair based exercises in this post: healthunlocked.com/strength...

Hope you find something great to keep you going!
