After the previous article about the knee Kaka (TA said that the lotus plate is laborious? Three things yoga practitioners must understand!), Many friends leave messages asking what to do if the knee has been injured.
I mainly practice Atang, and I haven’t studied and practiced restorative yoga.
I can only share some of my shallow experience.
If the knee has been injured during practice, in most cases, it can only be smeared and paid attention.
At least as far as I know, there is no very direct and effective recovery method.
In some cases, it takes a long time to recover slowly.
Due to the special structure of the knee position, the awareness of the knee position is actually relatively weak in practice.
In other words, it is not easy to feel some subtle changes, which is one of the reasons why the knee always has pain.
The knee doesn’t feel much at the beginning of compensation in practice, but it will show pain as the practice deepens the accumulation of compensation.
(there are also sudden external force injuries, but they belong to another kind of situation) a considerable part of knee pain appears after the accumulation of incorrect exercises, so it also needs to take some time to repair it slowly.
According to my personal experience of practicing yoga, if there is pain in the knee, it is unlikely to recover immediately after practicing several asanas.
In particular, the pain of this joint requires a certain amount of time to adjust and recover.
After all, yoga practice is not magic practice, and it is unlikely to have an immediate effect.
Otherwise, why do you have to go to the hospital? But correct yoga practice can indeed enhance the speed and effect of recovery.
Once the knee hurts, it is very important to see a doctor when it is time to apply medicine and see a doctor.
Should we continue to practice after injury? To see the severity of the injury, you can consult your teacher or go to the hospital to see a doctor.
If the knee pain is so serious that it’s hard to stand, have a good rest and don’t be too brave.
If there is only some swelling and pain, and it is not particularly serious, try to keep practicing.
However, special attention should be paid to some postures that need to dish the lotus.
Some variants can be made, such as standing half lotus forward bending, which can be replaced by tree pose.
Proper yoga practice can promote the blood circulation of the affected area and speed up the recovery.
It can also be understood as letting the energy flowing in the body repair the affected area, but the premise is to avoid secondary practice damage.
If it’s a little sour and painful, you can do some preparation and warm-up before practice.
Take the knee as an example.
Before practice, you can rub your hands warm, gently massage your knees with warm palms, and remember not to rub too hard.
You can also bend one leg and step on the ground in a sitting position, try to keep the heel close to the thigh root, fully expand the knee position, and keep breathing for several times.
These are the more effective warm-up methods I summarized after the knee injury.
Then I will practice, and I will feel much better.
If there is pain in some joints and muscles, some drugs can also be used to relieve it, such as Votalin, safflower oil, Yunnan Baiyao spray, etc.
Futalin is the first choice here.
Anyway, my wife and I use it, which is basically easy to use, especially muscle pain.
If conditions permit, you can also apply some mixed essential oils, and the effect is also very good.
In a word, if there is pain in the knee, it can’t recover quickly in most cases.
It takes some time to recuperate, and the knee injury is easy to recuperate.
Pay more attention in practice.
Once there is pain, it will affect practice and life.
