With the NHL Playoffs on TV at present I have seen players recover from injuries in a very speedy fashion. How can then get better so quickly when it takes me weeks or months to get over injuries?
There are two main reasons. Athletes are in excellent shape and therefore the impact of an injury is not as great on them as it would be for you or me. Hockey is their job and the teams establish a back up medical system paid privately which accesses the best diagnostic techniques and medical care in the shortest possible time. Trainers or physiotherapists are on the ice as soon as the injury occurs. Team doctors and specialists are in the dressing room when the player is taken from the ice. Athletes are treated as many times through the day as need be. There return to function is accelerated with the best care, provided in a timely manner and supported by excellent education.
