Everyday Systems

I fractured a rib last sunday riding my motorbike.

Haven't done any SG since then, but my back is _really_ starting to play up. I think it's in sympathy to the rest of me?

Anyways, one thing I know that fixes me up pretty quick is some nice SG workouts... however I am reluctant to do this what with the rib and all.

Anyone got a suggestion?

I really suggest you call a physical therapist.

I won't say I've never exercised on a cracked rib (was a martial artist when I was younger), but I really think you should take some professional advice in this one.

Wow. I'm not sure I would do anything without consulting a physician.

I agree with Kevin...go talk to your Dr and get a consult to see an OT or a PT. Last time I was really injured the PT designed a program of "active rest" to keep me from becoming a complete couch potato.
