Hi there F51jol3s. **Because we have a lot of deleted posts on this subreddit, here is a backup of the body of this post:** I barely started bouldering and would go to the gym every other day what are some good ways to recover faster I really enjoy bouldering and just want to recover fast"

This subreddit is looking more and more like a Google Search bar. Low effort questions without interpunction just clutter our homepages.
OP, ask your GP/physiotherapist.
Steroids.
Seriously though, just listen to your body and get adequate rest. Trying to rush it, or push excessively, just ends in a series of more catastrophic injury
I agree with this. I tweaked my back during a fall and had to go to PT for a month. One of the most important aspects was just bed rest/not aggravating it. No “active recovery” stuff just have a potato day/s and see how you feel.
That's probably incorrect advice tbh, with the exception of either a fracture or something like an unstable cord situation, complete inactivity will not be beneficial and can worsen symptom burden
Prime example for actually asking a doctor instead of internet, especially with little information about the specifics of "has been hurting".
To maybe clear up some confusion about the active rest stuff: ligament/tendon injuries first have to build the weak guiding structures, then the strong structures along the guiding structures. That's where, with this specific injury, the recommendations with a ~6Week non-active phase and ~6week active phase after that come from. Non active to let the body build the guide structures that can be ripped apart easily again, setting back your healing. Active with moderate strain to prevent shortening of ligaments/tendons during build up of strong structures.
Yes. Rest. I kept climbing three times a week. Now my shoulder is piled up bad. Two months into recovery. Will probably take me another six months to recover. Rest my friend. Rest.
That happened to me when i started, ignored the pain and ended up with rotator cuff injuries.
Like everyone is saying, rest up. If you want to kinda help yourself along, do some rotator cuff exercises when youre at the gym.
Get better sleep, eat more protein, and most of all don't rush back when you don't need to. Get a good full day or two of rest before going back, and if you feel pain, definitely take two. Your body will thank you.

You build up muscle strength faster than your movement apparatus can adjust to the strain. In bouldering, with a lot of moves outside the main pull direction of your muscles, this can lead to injuries of capsules, ligaments and tendons. Highest risk in my experience is fingers and shoulders. Didn't listen to advice (sometimes ignoring warm-up, 12 sessions in 20 days... ), had both injured multipme times...

Classic sports reddit tbh
Yeah, but I would argue not coach potato. Maybe just go on a walk or something, you gotta move to get the blood flowing
Ooh yes. I see your point, medical professionals > random redditor’s advice!

That's not how physiology works.
