How it works
Provides cardiovascular and muscular training stimulus without tibial loading, allowing the periosteum to heal while maintaining fitness. Prevents the full deconditioning that accompanies complete rest.
Deep water running with a flotation belt is the most specific replacement for running. Cycling and swimming maintain aerobic fitness but use different muscles than running.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
