Walk it off…
November 12, 2009
If you’ve ever played sport in school, or watched a team sport you might have heard the term “Walk it off”.
The ‘it’ they talk of is pain. A slight sprain, jar or other event that causes pain, but (usually) no lasting injury. Walking it off help to activate the body, get the hurt part moving and overload the pain sensations. It works wonders.
Going for a walk helps for all kinds of ills. My father, in his 80’s, still walks every single day. It’s about the only regular exercise he gets, and he’s still fit and healthy. You don’t have to walk fast, or long, just remember that every little bit counts.
