Following treatment for a traumatic injury, a carefully administered rehabilitation programme can speed the recovery process. A triathlete for example needs to be taken through a progressive programme to regain ability and return to the sport. As a bonus, many athletes often learn some important lessons about training and how their body works as they recover!

There are no guarantees against injuries, even for the most cautious and well-trained triathlete. However, proper form, a balanced exercise programme and prompt attention to injuries and safety can minimize down-time and sharpen the competitive edge.
