Getting Back on the Track Managing Pain and
Speeding up Recovery
Orthopedic May 7, 2020 The Coronavirus pandemic
has grounded professionals from around the world
and confined them to their homes. This grounding
has turned many into couch potatoes and others
into fitness gurus. However, some of us need to
constantly be in shape to perform
athletes. Athletes and sportspersons are
especially at risk during the coronavirus
pandemic due to their need to use sporting
facilities to train. As they were confined to
their homes at very short notice, most athletes
had to come up with innovative ways to continue
training at home. This will allow them to be at
their best when they hit the track after the
pandemic.
The Problems with Training at Home Many athletes
might not have weights, spinners, or a treadmill
at home forcing them to use unscientific
methods to train. Training at home often requires
going back to the basics lifting objects
instead of scientifically designed weights for

groups using crude methods and running on hard
surfaces like a floor. These methodologies may
continue to keep you in shape but come with the
added disadvantage of causing injuries. Another
major gripe of sportspersons quarantined at home
is back pain, which can either be caused by
sitting for too long, or postural problems when
they are not training. Recovering after Sporting
iInjuries The resultant injuries from training at
home can sometimes cause athletes to lose
valuable training time due to this time being
spent on recovery. With no coaches or trainers
around, pain management at this time is mostly
by using painkillers, patches, or
home-therapy. Are there Drug-Free Alternatives
to Manage Pain? Most athletes switch to powerful
painkillers or sprays for immediate relief, but
both these products have their disadvantages.
Sprays can cause allergic reactions on the skin,
and painkillers can be addictive, making
athletes dependent upon them. There are, however,
alternatives that can help. Muscle
Pains Cooling treatment is often used to reduce
the recovery time in a sports rehabilitation
program. Products like Physicool can rapidly
cool and compress the target muscles, offering
the muscle- recovery benefits of an ice pack but
without the risk of injury. Physicool helps to
speed up recovery, reduce muscle pain and
relieve soreness without discomfort and can be
used for extended periods. Back Pain A common
problem reported during the quarantine by
individuals and athletes alike is of back pain.
Back pain is debilitating and can significantly
reduce performance or the ability to exercise.
TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulation) therapy is a revolutionary way to
ease back pain without medication or side
effects. The Hollywog WiTouch Pro is the safest
and the most powerful FDA-approved wireless TENS
device in the market that can help you get rid
