In this episode, Sarah is delving into the topic of exercising while injured. Should you? Shouldn’t you? How do you know when, how much, and what kind to do?
She takes you through a decision making strategy that will make this an easier question to tackle next time you are injured. Sarah also made a PDF Injury Decision Tree that you will receive as bonus content if you sign up for the 2024 Bone Density Course Wait List!

- Acute vs Chronic injuries – what’s the difference when it comes to exercise
- How different types of injury will impact your movement choices

- The tissue healing timeline and what can speed it up or slow it down
- The role pain plays in injury and how it’s not a 1:1 ratio of injury to pain
- Situations where the best option actually is to rest
- What types of exercise are best depending on your level of injury
- Red flags to keep an eye out for that would require medical intervention
And more!

I have great bone density (2.5), and it is now 2025. Is it possible to get a copy of the decision tree? I have had two separate rotator cuff surgeries to repair a massive tear. I am anxious to get back into yoga at least.
Hi Vanessa, if you go listen to it on Apple Podcasts, you’ll get a link for the decision tree in the show notes.
