** '''Rest Appropriately.''' Some injuries require complete rest, but others require either a reduction in activity or will allow cross training. There is even evidence that some injuries do not heal correctly with total rest, as a small amount of stress is needed for correct repair. This is especially true of tendon injuries, as a limited stress will align the new tendon material. Without that stress, the tendon will heel weaker.
* Don’t let it happen again
** '''Root Cause Analysis.''' Fixing an injury without working out what caused it is only a temporary fix. Did you do '[[Too Much Too Soon]]"', is your [[Cadence]] too low, is there a [[Muscle|muscle ]] imbalance, etc.?
