How to heal/recover from injuries?

[carson]

Hello to all the Nak Muay. I have been practicing Muay Thai for few years, I have always admired those fighters able have a strong body/stamina when come to practice and fight.
So few years back then, I tried to register a semi pro fight, it is a great and worst experience to me throughout my life hahahah, I enjoyed and suffered a lot during the process.
Since I was not a great athlete and my first time. I get a lot of injuries/sprain throughout my training, which lead to my main topic here, how did you recover/ heal your injuries during the training and post-fight?
I had been carrying the injuries for few years and I went for few acupuncture sections and massage. It partially help, but does not fully recover from how I used to be. The injuries limited my strength and movement and became a burden even a stretching.

Please kindly advice/share me your experiences, I wish to get rid of it.  Thank you

Every injury is different, but a big part of my approach has been warm water massage, especially for shins, and to not use rest too much. Instead, active recovery:

 

 

You can also read this article I wrote a few years ago, which details my injuries and some of how I responded to them:

A possible try is with a friendly cat!

Its an old house cure cat skin is good for rheumatism.  The fact is, an alive, friendly cat, is even better!!!

What is,  you must have a cat whom likes to sleep on you... 

 

OK, a lesser known fact, is cats and their purring helps also to heal fractures and sprains.  These are oh so common with hard training athlethes and - of course - fighters...

There are even scientific studies telling the cat purring is in a frequence near the ideal for helping bone fissures to heal...

 

Its possible a loving, friendly dog could do something similiar...  But this is speculation.  On cats Im fairly sure.

 

In both cases a good bet is to take care of a cat / dog whom is it pity about.  From a high kill shelter; or a homeless whom seeks your help.

It helps much your karma, and it may help up your health.
