Thigh strain recovery method

During strenuous exercise, the thigh muscles are also easily strained. The thigh muscles are one of the largest muscles in the human body, and their main function is to support the body and walk, etc. When athletes undergo high-intensity training, they should not be anxious, but should proceed step by step and train scientifically, so as to effectively avoid thigh muscle strain. Sometimes it is hard to prevent. So how do you recover from a thigh muscle strain? Let's share.

(1) Rest: If you feel any abnormal pain in a certain part of your body during exercise, stop doing it and relax and rest completely.

(2) Clarify the injury: Gently rotate the injured part and do some gentle movements to determine which muscles, tendons, and ligaments are painful or injured. This way you will know where to focus on treatment and which movements to avoid during intense exercise.

(III) Do not add burden to the injured part: After finding out the injured part, not only should you avoid doing exercises that may affect the injured part, but you should also be careful not to add burden to the injured part during your daily activities. For example, if you have lower back pain, do not lift heavy objects, and if you have foot pain, avoid running.

(IV) Exercise around the injured area: The human body has more than 600 muscles. Therefore, even if 100 muscles are injured, there are still more than 500 muscles to train. All muscles should be trained to improve health and achieve balanced development. At the same time, the femur, which is the main weight-bearing part, can be strengthened. There will be muscles around the injured area that can be moved as desired. For example, the injured or taking over tibial muscles hinder the entire squatting movement, but half-squatting is still allowed. However, it must be done with caution. If you feel uncomfortable during the activity, you should let the entire injured muscle group rest.

(V) Promote local blood circulation: The injured area must be carefully measured, and a movement that can gently move the injured area can be found to promote blood circulation, replenish fresh nutrients, and remove waste substances.

(6) Gently stretch: Slowly stretch the injured area until you encounter slight resistance, then stop and try to relax the injured area. When doing this, try to stretch further. When the muscles are stretched and relaxed, more therapeutic blood will flow to that area, and it will heal faster. However, if you stretch too much, it will lead to worsening of the trauma and even re-injury.

(VII) Massage: Gentle massage can directly increase blood flow. You can rub, but a more effective way to relieve pain is to relax yourself and let someone who knows massage do the massage.

(8) Heat: Heat can promote blood flow to the body surface by virtue of the body's natural cooling reaction. Heat can also relieve the tension of injured muscles, thereby accelerating blood circulation and bringing more nutrients to the muscles.

(IX) Ice compress: Heat is often used for long-term recovery after an injury, and cannot be used as on-the-spot first aid. Applying heat immediately after an injury can cause swelling of the injured area and further damage to the tissue. Generally, ice compress can reduce swelling within 48 hours after an injury.

Finally, for general muscle strains, acupuncture treatment is best, and the effect will be better. Recovery is quick and there will be no sequelae.
