All injured tissues require motion, oxygenation and blood flow to allow for regeneration. Resistance, intensity and frequency must be optimal in order to maximize healing to specific tissues. Sufficient rest is also a vital component to tissue healing. Without rest, there is no tissue rebuilding.
The optimal number of repetitions, sets and resistance differs depending on what specific tissue is injured. For example, tendons have a significantly lower metabolism than muscles, and therefore respond to different amounts of repetitions, sets and resistance to facilitate optimal tissue healing.
Your therapists at Mondo Sports Therapy are experts in prescribing tissue specific exercises that are tailor made to target the injured tissue and promote optimal healing to get you back to your workouts as soon as possible.
Different tissue types include:
- Cartilage
- Muscle
- Tendons
- Bone
- Nerves
