but they can also aid in
the recovery fro a sports
related injury. Recently
while playing racket ball I
sprained my knee and
quads. I used ice packs to
get the swelling down but
the stiffness started to
become a problem. I felt
that I needed to loosen
things up but everything I
attempted resulted in pain
or discomfort. After about
a week of rest I got on my
elliptical trainer and slowly
began to work my knee
the recovery fro a sports
related injury. Recently

the stiffness started to
become a problem. I felt
that I needed to loosen
things up but everything I
attempted resulted in pain
or discomfort. After about
a week of rest I got on my
elliptical trainer and slowly
began to work my knee
and sore muscle groups.
I took it easy and only did a very slow 15 minute workout. Elliptical trainers
are known for their ability to provide a total body workout without
impacting joints, bones and muscle. This became very apparent as over
the next several days I slowly began to get strength and flexibility back into
my knee. I kept the workout sessions to less than twenty minutes. I also
applied ice packs after each work out to control swelling. It was painful
walking just after my injury but surprising it was less painful using the
elliptical trainer.
If you already use an elliptical trainer on a regular basis then you are most
likely physically fit and your recovery most likely will be rapid when
compared to sedentary individuals. If you are not using an elliptical trainer
as part of your fitness routine, you really should check out the latest
elliptical trainer information. I must say that prior to using my elliptical
trainer I called my friend who is an exercise physiologist and Physical
therapist for advice. He spent about an hour with me to assure that I was
exercising correctly. I would strongly suggest that you also consult a
medical professional that practices sports medicine before jump on your
elliptical trainer for a ride. Failure to do so could lead to a more serious
condition or injury.
Again I think that the lack of impact to my knee during the therapy workout
made all the difference. I must say that I think I am recovering fairly quickly.
I think in about two weeks I may even be able to do some road work. I
probably will hold off on that to reduce the risk of a reinjury. The elliptical
trainer will provide just about the same fitness benefit while protecting my
joints. I do miss my racket ball with friends but that will have to wait until
next month. I am just glad that I have my elliptical machine to help me to
recover.
