The Mistake That Can Make an Arm Injury Worse

If one arm is injured, it can be tempting to keep pushing the healthy arm much harder — but that can create an even bigger strength imbalance while you recover.

Instead, work with a physical therapist and look at ways to safely stimulate the injured side with less resistance, such as blood flow restriction training or electrical muscle stimulation when appropriate.

The goal is to heal while keeping both sides as balanced as possible.
