Getting an injury in MX is sometimes inevitable. Even with the most expensive gear for protection, your shoulders, wrists, and knees can still get broken when your bike crashes or flips over. Nevertheless, you should still wear them to protect your body from major injuries and even death. Recovering from broken bones or torn ligaments may take time and the right recovery programs.
Make certain you give yourself ample rest. Be patient with the recovery process. As much as you want to be back on your motorbike, you will need to give your injured body parts enough time to recover. One part of balanced recovery is ‘RICE.' This translates to resting with ice, compressing and elevating your injured body parts. Sprains will often swell up. After your ‘RICE' it, you must make certain that you also do some drills or therapy for it. If you are feeling impatient, try playing an MX videogame to pass the time.
If you want to be able to get on your bike in a short time, make sure that you include drills that will develop your core. Drills like crunches focus on developing your abdominal and back muscles for better balance and support. You can use weights to develop your core when your bones or ligaments have healed. Make sure that you do not rush into using weights at once. Do not rush these kinds of things so you can recover better.
If you want to rehabilitate the range of motion of an injured shoulder, use a row machine. Start this kind of exercise without any weight resistance. Practice on creating fluid motions slowly first. Once you are able to do this and your shoulder does not hurt, you can add some resistance to the machine slowly. If you are feeling any pain in your injured body part, stop the exercises and rest.
Don't rush any of your therapy or recovery programs. If you injured your knee, first include walking in your program. Walk slowly and do not walk too much. Use some knee support braces or knee pads to support your weight. When you are feeling a little better, you can try jogging to develop the different muscles around your knees.
Remember that before one learsn to run, he must first walk. Be patient with your recovery training programs and eventually, you will be able to ride your motocross bike like before.
