About this episode
One of the most powerful ways to reduce stress and strain on any piece of injured tissue is to get completely off of your feet. Bedrest can do that.
I was talking with a runner recently who asked a great question,
“Should I just do bed rest?”
I answered,
“Bed rest is like chemo for runners.”
With chemotherapy, we're basically giving you a powerful drug.
But is it going to kill the tumor first, or is it going to kill the patient first? Bed rest is like chemotherapy for runners, and that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
