That is the great thing about the Perfect Pushup.Alden Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552155840850031599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998975546712361816.post-35076081068229230672009-03-31T11:22:00.000-07:002009-03-31T11:22:00.000-07:00Post from Dr. Scott --Ballerina Barbie asked, “How...Post from Dr. Scott --<BR/><BR/>Ballerina Barbie asked, “How long does an injury from force stretching take to heal? <BR/><BR/>Answer: Depending on the injury, there are multiple answers. I agree with not forcing the issue or trying to push through this. I would suggest you follow-up with a sports medicine doctor(orthopedist or chiropractor) or a physical therapist to get a more specific diagnosis(muscle v. tendon v. ligament and degree of tear) and then you can get a more specific answer. <BR/><BR/>It is my experience that the sooner we start a patient on active rehab the faster they get better(for what you are describing).Alden Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552155840850031599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998975546712361816.post-60557786568482783532009-03-25T07:13:00.000-07:002009-03-25T07:13:00.000-07:00Dr. Scott sir: How much pressure is put on the...Dr. Scott sir:<BR/><BR/> How much pressure is put on the wrists when doing Super Slow Perfect Pushups?<BR/>I did something to my wrists when shooting .45(S&W) when I was in a Guard unit.<BR/><BR/>Drive on Perfect Pushup, DRIVE ON!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>MMA MAX<BR/>NyMMAnews.com<BR/>TheNHBshow.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861334679929980570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998975546712361816.post-60350796606747464822009-03-25T00:35:00.000-07:002009-03-25T00:35:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145266659581517665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998975546712361816.post-55387792941494631152009-03-24T10:15:00.000-07:002009-03-24T10:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for the info.I beleive it is from over trai...Thanks for the info.<BR/>I beleive it is from over training and I am resting it this week.

As a sports Dr., I always try to find a plan B so the patient can continue to work out. Your complaint is a common one, and the only way to tell if you will be able to do use the Perfect Pushup is to try it. Also, vary your grip pressure and attempt to control the degree or eliminate rotation based on tolerance and see if that helps. <BR/><BR/>If it is a case of overuse/overtraining, you may need to rest your forearms a bit and/or use a "tennis elbow" brace for support. You may want to visit a Sports Medicine Specialist who can diagnosis you and make some treatment recommendations so you can heal quickly. Treatment such as Active Release Technique is great to assist in freeing up adhesions in the muscles, therefore improving function and expediting healing.<BR/> <BR/>Let me know how it goes.<BR/><BR/>Dr. ScottAlden Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552155840850031599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998975546712361816.post-14077347777992384072009-03-24T03:43:00.000-07:002009-03-24T03:43:00.000-07:00What about forearm and elbow pain?

I workout about 6 times per week and recently my forearm started hurting a little and now my forearm and elbow hurt pretty bad while trying to do curls especially when you add a twist into it. I am resting the arm this week by not lifting. I have not tried doing the perfect pushup since it started hirting how do you think it will effect it. It has a lot of pain if you try and swing a hammer to drive a nail. Tried that this past weekend as well. <BR/>JohnJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889810527843988595noreply@blogger.com
