There are many little things that depend on what you’re trying to address.
In my case, a few of the most helpful things I do now are:
- Focused box breathing for ~5-10 minutes several times throughout the day to relieve tension in my body. I find it helpful to do this to figure out what I should try and address next.
- Walking indoors in different ‘patterns’ to break my body out of the limping pattern it found itself in after my injury.
- Walking indoors as normally as possible with an increasing cadence. Ie. I’ll walk in a straight line extremely slowly as normal as possible. If there’s no pain, I’ll turn and walk faster.
- Contrast baths for my foot to properly circulate blood flow in my foot and reduce inflammation.
There are plenty of other things, but I think I’d do very little justice trying to write things out. I’m still essentially just a patient and learning more about this as well.
Probably alternating cold/hot temperatures. Probably best to sit in a dry sauna and jump into a cold (very) shower. Nothing beats it. You should come out feeling refreshed, if not sligthly euphoric.
