“3 Things to Avoid in the Early Stages of Stem Cell Recovery “
If you’ve just had a stem cell procedure, you’re probably feeling eager to get back to your normal routine and excited about the healing process ahead. However, it’s crucial to approach the early stages of recovery with caution to avoid setbacks. Here’s what Dr. Jason from Stem Cell Recovery Experts recommends you avoid to ensure a smooth and effective recovery.
1. Avoid Returning to Your Normal Routine Too Soon
One of the most common mistakes people make is trying to resume their everyday activities too quickly. While you may feel good initially, your body needs time to adjust and heal properly. Jumping back into your regular routine can cause trauma to the areas where stem cells are actively working to regenerate tissue. Additionally, engaging in strength training too early can disrupt the body’s healing process and interfere with the stem cells’ ability to repair damaged tissues.
2. Steer Clear of High-Intensity Workouts
During the early recovery phase, it’s essential to monitor your exercise intensity. Dr. Jason advises focusing on zone two cardio, which involves keeping your heart rate at a moderate level. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) or any strenuous activity that pushes your heart rate too high should be avoided. These demanding exercises can strain your cardiovascular system and impede the healing process. Stick to gentle, low-impact activities to support your recovery without putting excessive stress on your heart and body.
3. Say No to Deep Tissue or Aggressive Treatments
While it may be tempting to use deep tissue massage, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, or aggressive physical therapy to alleviate any discomfort, these treatments should be avoided in the early stages of stem cell recovery. Aggressive interventions can create new trauma, diverting the stem cells’ healing power to unintended areas and delaying overall recovery. Your body needs a calm, healing environment for the stem cells to do their work efficiently, so it’s best to hold off on any intensive treatments until your provider gives you the green light.
