You got injured and it hurts, it’s time to solve it. It happens to everyone, whether or not they are active, while cleaning the house or doing their exercise routine, injuries don’t care about physical condition, and therefore, no one is exempt from them.
Injuries are unpredictable, sudden, and violent. In general, all it takes is paying more attention to our surroundings or our own body to avoid them. An injury can occur for many reasons and at the same time, cause multiple effects. A fall, for example, can cause a sprain, a dislocation, or a fracture, we just don't think about it. Likewise, people tend to be prone to traffic accidents, which in the best cases result in a neck strain (according to the lucky ones). As mentioned earlier, no one is immune to an injury, much less an athlete who lives with the constant risk of muscle injuries such as dislocations, ruptures, tendinitis, among others.
And once injured, there’s only one path to follow: rehabilitation. There are many methods, but today we’ll talk about physiotherapy.
In simple terms, we can say that physiotherapy is a non-pharmacological treatment used to diagnose, treat, and prevent multiple ailments, whether acute or chronic (it’s important to highlight that the definition itself says something crucial: “non-pharmacological” meaning it’s non-invasive). It focuses on the proper development of the body’s systems, especially the motor system, using scientifically proven techniques. There are several types of physiotherapy: through electricity, laser, ultrasound, heat, cold, water, and manual techniques. A trusted orthopedic specialist will know best which method is ideal, and with appropriate rest, there’s nothing to worry about.
However, we will focus on the manual techniques.
Now that we know a bit more about injuries and one of their possible treatments, physiotherapy, let’s talk about the elastic band, as an aid in rehabilitation. Its use is particularly useful for muscle development and mobility of the affected body part, relieving pain and muscle overloads by limiting or complementing the range of motion. Therefore, you don’t necessarily need to be injured to use them.
Some advantages of elastic bands are their low cost, ease of use on different areas of the body, and versatility in physical training. They are the perfect complement for various types of exercise.
Now that we know a bit about elastic bands, which one should you use?
It depends, of course, on the injury or use you want to give them. However, here are some good options.
They are made from natural rubber, a milky liquid that flows from some tree species whose seeds are watered two to three times a day, so that, after three weeks, the tree reaches a sufficient height and size to be transplanted into the ground. Their main plantations are in Brazil. It’s widely used for its excellent elasticity properties and resistance to acids and alkaline substances (which we shouldn’t be exposed to, and hence we won’t go into detail). It repels water, insulates temperature and electricity. Additionally, the bands are 1 meter long by 10 centimeters wide.
