Sprains and strains may take time to heal.  And if ligaments and tendons have been repeatedly stretched, additional time may be required.  The key is to realize that regardless of body condition, you can build a new shape and gain fitness. Bodies are always changing.  Positive attitude can help after injury along with a bit a laughter, optimism, and patience.  Do not let a Car Accident Injury allow you to become discouraged. Stay hopeful, let your body heal, and then go for it!  Join me, ESTRA in a discussion on Building Up Your Body After Injury.
