What do you do when you are injured?

Eric Chang · Post by **Eric Chang** » 25 Nov 2007 02:48

Meh just bored and decided to drop by again. Of course just wondering, if you have been injured what do you do when hurt?

So far with the bad knee I really can't work out as much as I like, so I've gained a few pounds :

Of course I'm doing a few workouts to help my knee, but besides that of course!

How bout you guys/gals?

I like wood working during periods when I either am injured or need a break. I keep telling myself I'll get good at guitar someday too, but that hasn't happened yet.

you could take up stitching. It'll motivate you to shred with your newly made bags when you're all healed up.

I like to work on footbag videos and stitch. I still go to every Hackrifice session to film.

Spend more time on modified for the footbag fix and actually spend time on my homework...

During one of my prolonged injuries, I learned how to juggle. I think that a large number of footbaggers have followed this same pattern

I just keep playing, even though I'm injured. I do this so that I never get healthy, It's really cool and fun. My knee has been hurting me for like a year now, but it only hurts for one day after i play, then it feels fine. I wish it would never hurt but what are you gonna do. I think if I rested for 2 or 3 months i would come back and the same thing would happen again, so whatever. if you have good advice give it up please.

see a doctor...?

Not much else i can say. And EVERYONE should see a doctor if they have any questions about their injury. it isn't so safe to gamble with your body.

I agree with Benzilla, if you're having pain go see a doctor! You never know when you might regret it.

I cross train while I'm injured in activities that won't aggravate the injury (i.e. stretching, swimming, ect).

Work on my flipside

Benzilla · Post by **Benzilla** » 26 Nov 2007 12:06

If you are able to work on your flipside thats good. But most people aren't lucky enough to injure something that will still allow you to work on your flipside.

Unfortunately, my bad knees made me one of the unluckies.

In the short times I was injured before this most recent injury I learned to juggle 3 balls, 4 balls, some tricks with 3 ball, and 3 clubs, I did cross training, and now, I haven't played since August 24, I've been cross training and I picked up a new hobby, longboarding.

When I get injured I pull out my trusty amputatin' saw.

i dont really get injured to the point i have to stop, but i do take lots of footbag breaks, just in case. my knees ache, or my back aches (like muscle strain, or just overworked joints) after most sessions. so its usually one weekly session if at all.

i stitch, homework, yoyo, screenprint/monoprint/linoprint, play RE4, or just do nothing (rare) in the footbag off time.

I don't get injured.

I take the extra time to perfect my form and condition my ankles and the rest of my body so that it's ready for slips and twists and falls.

You should too.
