I don’t know if anybody has seen this article yet or talked about it, but it seems relevant to us athletes.
I’m sick of hearing “2-3 weeks no activity”, so this sounds really attractive to me. Opinions? Has anyone ever tried what they suggest in the article?
My personal experience is that laying off for 2 or 3 days and then easing back in slowly provides the best (fastest and most complete) recovery.

That’s probably the most dangerous article ever written in modern times, onlyl beaten by “mein kampf” and Mao’s little red book.
What do they call the guy who graduates last in medical school?
Answer: Doctor
Doctor Weinstein, apparently graduated last in med school.
The concept of keeping moving after an injury is an important one, but like the article says, balance between movement and rest is crucial.
Often what it recommended is to maintain active or passive joint range of motion to help reduce atrophy, swelling and stiff/tightness in the joint.
His recommendations are pretty out there though, but sometimes that’s what it takes to find new solutions.
