To all my football kakis, friends and readers who are active in sports. Once a while, we suffer from minor injuries such as muscle strains, sprains, etc or more serious injuries such as fractures or, like myself, a complete Archilles Tendon Rupture.
Saw this video from Income on getting back to fitness from injuries and I thought it’s interesting to share the recovery workout tips.
By the way, if we suffered a serious injuries like my complete Archilles Tendon Rupture that resulted in a surgical procedure, our Medishield Life or Integrated Shield plans will pay for the hospital plans. However, if it’s a minor one that we seeking treatments from a General Practitioner, the above plans will not pay for the bills. My personal experience is seeking treatment from Physiotherapy or TCM which averagely cost $150 per consultation…again, our Medishield Life or Integrated Shield plans will not pay for these cost.
The most common types of sports injury involved sprains(61%), bone fractures(23%), strains(9%) and cuts(7%).
Most of these injuries will not be serious to be hospitalised.
