This is how I approach recovery and pain management as a hypermobile athlete. Nothing too complex, just tried and true methods that work for me. I’ve done weekly epsom salt baths for years. They soothe muscle aches and generally relaxes me. Compression boots. These are on the pricier side but there are more affordable options available online. These help with circulation and honestly nothing better than these after a leg day or a run. What can I say that hasn’t already been said 10000000000x infinity times? I try to get enough protein and greens. I could probably be a little more strict actually but that’s okay. I regret not taking creatine sooner. It’s helped me to be able to push a little harder in the gym and I do notice I have more energy since starting it. I started because I saw it is recommended for hypermobile people. I use @prosupps creatine! 🔗 in bio use c0de SHEVIE 🫶 I need a loooot of sleep. If I don’t get 9-10 hours I’m having a subpar day. It’s crazy the amount of work your body does to heal you while you sleep. Electrolytes are helpful for athletes in general but I especially like them to help manage some symptoms associated with my hypermobility. I use @prosupps ionIQ which has 5mg of creatine in each packet as well. Link is in bio C0DE SHEVIE 🫶 Do what works for you! In the top picture I am tying my legs together to sit and do work because my hips never feel stable and I sit in weird ways that end up causing pain. Bottom photo is me holding a lacrosse ball. I use the lacrosse ball to roll out my muscles which always feel like they have knots in them. Helps my body relax. recovery athlete hypermobile hypermobileathlete lacrosseball LTKActive LTKselfcare LTKfitnessgoals
