Dude! Even you are not indestructible, please look after yourself and take the time to recover, we'll all still be here waiting
Yeah agree f$&k subscribers and stuff health is 190% people will wait. Oh and bring girlfriend on more. 🍎🍑😂
he is indestructible .
@@samsonhasleder1897 you’re still young I bet. Wait until you turn 50 see if u say that. 🤣
Dom your one of the best Parkour Athletes in the world, your followers including me, will be waiting for your return, please look after yourself. You rely on your body for your career, look after it, never leave it too long to get help. Happy New Year to you & your family, & all the parkour world. Take it easy,.
I appreciate that! I’ll do the right rehab and be back soon! ❤
I mean a full recovery video would probably be extremely educational, especially for younger people or those newer to parkour. People don't realise just how much you have to take care of your body and how much downtime it needs, especially from high impact activities. The transparency is refreshing and I very much hope that you'll take the time to get back to health because the last thing you want to do is have compound injuries that mean you can't do parkour ever again. Take it from someone who had health stuff remove my capacity for training and competing. Don't take your body for granted or you might end up losing the ability to do the things you love.
I also don't think that maintenance as it pertains to parkour is highlighted enough. By maintenance I mean those things you do to make sure you can continue to function to the level you wish too. Anyway, speedy recovery and practise self care.
What he said dom!
It's really rare to find video's of parkour related rehab
Very good point!
Agree 100%. And it's content for him too so everyone is happy.
It's much easier to recover if you are 13 than if you are 31 though!
@@engineeringvision9507 true, makes it only more interesting for people with aspirations to do the sport long
We can wait for years for u dom! We are not going to leave u! Rest up dom. We are all here for u
Physically everyone has a limit. Id prefer he slowed down retired or became teacher/ camera man or producer. Its better than serous injury or worse. Keep the body of work and be happy being a legend. Really his bros should not have allowed him to put so much work on his body.
I'm always interested in recovery/PT especially for top athletes like yourself. Those kinds of exercises always seem like nice baby steps that most anyone could try out and I think they are an underexplored area of improving one's general abilities outside of the more explosive/impressive exercises. I've heard from family and friends that they can also be a way of learning about one's own body and how it works. I'd definitely enjoy a full routine breakdown.
I agree, please Dom show us the recovery exercises and stages, we all could benefit and learn how to approach these injuries😄
100% This!! We WANT to see how recovery works week by week!! It's 1000x better to watch the reality than just the highlights!!!
Recovering from a broken back and wrist atm, following a climbing accident, would love to see any excersises/mobility training videos etc cause my ankles knees and hips are buggered too
@@marzan.k_ he has a video called ready for concrete I’ve been watching it over and over for years I wish he’d make another
@@Jnigo I just checked it out, its a good video, but it's not really conditioning / rehab in my personal opinion. From my personal expierence once I tore ligaments in my knee, i had to go search for answers, especially because parkour puts you in so many different positions. Your fisios only help you so far for ex. Eversions/ Inversions, stability drills.
But guys like Calum for ex. Post pogo hops ( which help build up your tendons ), Kneeovertoesguy program has worked really well for my knee and there is for ex. Actual studies done on the Nordic curl, which was never prescribed by my fisios to me.
To conclude it really helps if these top guys share more of these " behind the scenes " training, cause we all can bust our ankle like dom and make the same mistake as him and continue to train, when you might need to look more into rehab etc. The more we share these protocols, might help with longevity and staying inlove with the sport😄
Big fan Dom. I’m sure that pressure to be pushing yourself is unreal. Take your time and heal up bro. Everyone will be around. Would love to see what you’re up to in recovery.
Thank you, I will! I put most of the pressure on myself 😂 I’ll be more sensible about it moving forward 🙌
@@DomTomato Document your recovery methods aswell. I'm sure people are interested how madman like you recover from injuries.
@@DomTomato hope you recover good you really good at parkour
Totally endorse this. You have been leading the field for so long, well done for (fibally) taking the rest you need.
Health is most important. Take care of your health Dom. RUclips can wait. When your body says stop, you should listen to it. Recover fully and then you can do what you like. Sometimes taking a step back will help you take 4 steps forward.
You know I'm never unsubscribing from this channel, after all the mind-blowing things I've seen you do on here it's the least I can do. Take your time and recover as long as you need to, you'll always have a fan base waiting!
Dom you're a freaking legend. Take care of your body and you'll come back stronger. Do lots of swimming and biking for therapy. But in reality all of the jumps you've already recorded are legendary. You should become a promoter or a coach. You have nothing to prove!
Some underwater parkour would be quite interesting😅
Glad to hear you're taking the time to recover. Like we talked about I've been through that process over the past few years with both my knee and ankle. Nothing worse than that feeling of regret after getting hurt again knowing that you told yourself not to do it. Take your time, rebuild from zero and you'll come back stronger than ever
❤❤❤ thanks g
This is good openess for other athletes. Thank you for not pretending you're invincible (even if it took a while). We're all thrilled by your athleticism, but not at the cost of your health. You have nothing to prove. ❤️
😂 it did take a while
Such a shame when the injuries catch up with you. Hope you make recovery and can still enjoy Parkour.
You've broken so many barriers in the parkour world your footage is already legendary status. Thank you for all the viewing pleasure!
Luckily they aren’t permanently damaged, according to the pros anyway 🤗
Lord willing - you’ll be doing it a loooong time. But you are already Michael Jordan in my view. You’ve made an indelible mark on this athletic discipline and sports in general
Thank you for addressing this topic Dom, recovery training is so often overlooked even at the peak level of this sport. Wishing you all the best with your recovery, I have no doubt that you’ll come back stronger and more explosive than ever. Take care, mate!
Absolutely❤
@@DomTomato damn heart me please
@@Xystian000 ew
Always look after yourself Dom
Thanks for sharing Dom! I’ve noticed in your more recent vids that you seemed a little more ginger after your landings and almost had a little hobble going on. Thought something might be up! So incredible to watch your journey and see how far the human body can be pushed and what it can endure even when injured. Absolutely incredible. Know you will be 100% again with the right level of recovery. Good on yah for taking the necessary time out!
🙌
super proud of you bro. taking care of yourself is tedious but you are worth it. take it slow and come back mad strong
Take your time as long as it needs to full recovery Dom, we are with you! And I'd be curious to see the process!
Stay safe and healthy, take your time, that is the most important thing Dom !
Oof I am so sorry to hear this! But I also really connect with your story, with mental rather than physical health. Sometimes it is just so exciting to do an activity that you love that even though you know you really shouldn't, that you're ill and doing it will make you worse, it is more or less impossible to resist.
This is ESPECIALLY true if you had previously been able to "tough it out"
my Man take care of your body you can rest all year for full recovery and we aint unsubscribing. I understand the urge to do the things you love even when you're injured, but like myself and you we are already in our 30's and our body aint the same way during our younger years.
I love you Dom. This is such an important watch for so many athletes and I totally get the attachment we have with oneself in terms of performance and output... but you gotta do what's right for your body even if that's the hardest. Rehab hard brother, stay patient, and you'll be able to enjoy your life better!
I'm so sorry you're suffering. I appreciate your humility and honesty in sharing the poor decision-making you engaged in along the way. It's heart-breaking. I see the stress and sadness in your face. Hopefully, other athletes will take note and avoid the same outcome. I hope that you make a full recovery with the right treatment. I know it's hard to face the realities of aging and injuries, but caution and care are the way to get the best outcome.
I am a long way from an athlete. I am a retired English teacher with a chronic disease (Relapsing Polychondritis) that comes with an ever-changing variety of pains and other bizarre symptoms; I've had to learn to see all plans as conditional--IF my body is up to it, I can do it. I have a LOT of limitations, but, like you, if I ignore or minimize the symptoms, the consequences affect lots of future opportunities. It's rarely worth it. LISTEN UP when your body says, "Not today," so you can be ready for another day. We only get one body. We must prioritize our well-being and give our bodies the care they need to be healthy.
Sending you BIG LOVE, Dom.
I think its super important that people take their health more seriously just as you did in the end. Thanks for sharing this so others can learn to take better care too
Alot of pro athletes really destroy their bodies during their peak so seeing you perform at the top levels in a sport that is this demanding, taking huge drops and bails while doing it for so many years is really impressive and it would be a shame to see that hinder you in the future. Obviously there's tons of training behind the scenes to be able to take this kinda drops and make these incredible jumps that could lead to permanent injuries if you hadn't gone through the training. Take as much time as possible and then some more for rehabilitation.
Videos like this are just as valuable as your regular content! Persistent pain from an old injury is something I’m also dealing with and it’s reassuring to hear from someone else facing this.
I’d definitely watch more recovery videos, not for the physical therapy details but to hear your mindset throughout.
I have to say that you DOM are the best Parkour Athlete I've ever seen, I used to do a lot of parkour when I was younger but when I severed my MCL and later damn near shattered my right ankle I had to stop to be able to at least make a living for myself. Always follow your heart but don't let that get in the way of recovery. Treat yourself kindly and as much as it hurts not to do what you love, the sacrifice of time to enable you to do these things IS necessary. I cannot wait to see your flow again, rest up and follow your dream 🙏
How did you almost shatter your ankle? I'm dealing with MCL ACL and PCL tear right now :( might be done doing flips for good
@@merlinthelemurian3197 Man I'm so sorry to hear that really... What happened to me was a freak accident at a Trampoline Gym. I was working on landing a double backflip from flat ground to a tramp, sadly one of my friends jumped onto it as I was landing and it fully compressed while I was straight legged and its sent my left leg up like a pogo stick separating my MCL and tearing my ACL. The pain of knowing that my knee would never be the same was so bad that I was tearing up, compared to the actual pain that came minutes later. I can say to keep strengthening the muscles around your knee to help the pain and discomfort... I really hope you can recover from that man cuz that sounds so much worse than what I did, how did that happen if you don't mind me asking???
@@merlinthelemurian3197 Oh sorry the ankle was a Motocross accident lol, I went over the bars and my bike landed right on it so yeaaaah hahaha. So I had a titanium plate put in keeping everything in place but that was only for about 6-7 months and luckily it healed well. But it still gives me trouble from time to time
@@tylerlearn1725 ay motorcross makes sense, i was wondering how parkour could possibly lead to a possible shatter, glad you're okay! Mine was from a diving front flip, over a 5 foot rail with an 8 foot drop onto sand, I landed with my chest too far back and my right leg leading in front a bit too much, forced pressure into the knee before I could execute the roll, and felt/heard the worst pop followed immediately by intense pain. I got the video recorded from 2 angles XD funny enough I haven't had too much pain after the initial 3 weeks of the muscle damage healing, it was 2 and a half months ago and I am feeling fine, still getting range of motion back but the knee feels strong, no instability or pain, if it wasn't for the MRI I would not suspect that anything really serious happened. The surgery will likely be worse, if I decide to go with surgery.
@@merlinthelemurian3197 Ahh man that really blows... I'd say to go ahead with the surgery if you have the time and money for it because its a day to day pain and discomfort all around. I plan to get mine done when the right time comes for sure. For now though one of those cheap nylon knee braces help me out quite a bit so you might want to try that for a while. Thanks for sharing your story man and I wish you all the best on your way to recovery!!!
I was the same way w/ my body as a BMX rider and I have completely broken myself on multiple occasions over the years, I can honestly say that unless you plan on dying at a young age I advise against trying to break yourself because now I'm in my 40s and I have a lot of physical problems from cracking joints to lymphedema that nearly took both legs.... I still have injuries that I have never had fixed and I have to actively fix if I crash or anything, like my shoulder was messed up very badly and I refused surgery to "fix" it so now sometimes I'll be doing something normal and my shoulder just falls out of socket or my hip gets stuck and I have to unlock it before I can walk to having knocked teeth out. LoL
I'm not saying don't be crazy like me, I'm just saying don't skip rehabilitation or repairs if you plan on being in a high impact sport like parkour or BMX or skateboarding for as long as possible.... I still ride occasionally but nothing like I was 10 years ago, the physical damage has gotten to a point where I can't wear out my joints any more because the cushions are gone so take care of yourself. 😁👍
Anyone feel like dom is literally explaining your life in the same or similar situation? Hit deep. Speedy recovery my guy
It’s a common parkour trope, I’m hoping by showing my negligence. It can help others make wiser choices sooner ❤
@@DomTomato It also helps reinforce yourself on being accountable and responsible when it comes to recovery. I Made similar poor decisions when i mangled a leg. And as a result of neglecting proper physio and treatment. Can no longer handle impact of any kind. But atleast we can educate others. Much love from Canada
Always a legend. Time to teach and grow the life style internationally. Preserve your body. I was worried about your head when you jumped from the over pass. Wow that neck injury you have sacrificed so much.
Take care of yourself and your body Dom !! Rest up, recover and heal back to your 100%. We watch you for the precious energy you bring to the videos, too, not just your astonishing athletic prowess !! Keep the videos coming; I love the mentor-apprentice vibes that shine through some of your mentoring videos !!
Full video breakdown would be sweet. Glad you're recovering well! Could use the recovery to think about future alternate revenue streams that are PK adjacent. Building that now in your prime will make the transition seamless and less scary. Idea 1. Start production company that makes profit from clients and essentially means free production and less editing time for yourself. Idea 2. For another day.
I don't take any of your stunts for granted, it's crazy what you've provided for the parkour/freerunning community in your life. We cannot thank you enough. Take as long of a break as you need 🙏
Bro if you ever had felt like you must be training besides be injured don't hesitate, we are here for you besides the time it takes. Look at verky! He was half a year off and now we receive him with open arms.
Personally your 2021 was for me the peak of parkour performance and also a personal inspiration, it was just the time I started to get into this and looking what dom just did that day was a common habit between friends. You made me a frontflip specialist. Even you commented in a post of a friend called dante and you made him cry. Look at all your accomplishments men you are sick and you can recover strong
Love these backgrounders about how you train, especially recovery from injuries large and small!
I’m glad you came around to this decision man, I feel its been a long time coming and I hope seriously recovering will give you back your freedom of movement. Also Im not sure how you’re feeling about this but I’ve had to accept that above age 30 now my recovery times are indeed becoming longer and my peak performance is lower and shorter.. I refused to accept that for a long time because I loved to perform at my peak. To me parkour is about constant improvement and I had to let go of that. Strangely enough that was immediately a great decision once I made it. Hope you don’t experience this yet 🙏 stay safe!
Defo would be interested in seeing your full recovery routine. I've just spent 2 years trying to gain back ankle mobility after neglecting 3 injuries, to my left ankle/foot. 2 from 28 and 27 years ago, and another about 5 years ago. 26 years of having limited mobility in the left ankle and foot created long term tightening of the knee, hip and lower spine. I wish I had taken a break and worked on getting full mobility back rather than pushing on and insidiously losing more and more mobility up the chain. The more recent injury, was an acute twist on some steps... it felt bad but then it seemed ok so went climbing, got a PB and the following morning went driving for 12 hours (work)... This didn't help at all, and probably added several months to my recovery. At some point I might do a video on how an old git like me can still recover from injury, but how it is nowhere near as easy or quick compared to when you are under 25. Wishing you good luck in your recovery and hope to see you back in full form, but don't rush!!! It really isn't worth it!
My mom will be stoked to hear from you! All jokes aside, im glad you are taking the steps to self reflect on recovery seriously. I know with your level of performance there will be big injuries and you arent a genetic freak who can survive it all. I hope you recover quickly and you can get back to doing what you love!
This man's tolerance levels are off the charts. If I get a papercut, bench me, Coach.
Respect Dom. Im surprised you still even have ankles with all the insane shit you've been up to over the last few years 😎 Looking forward to your recovery and return to jumping. Would be sweet to see your whole recover routine. Take care
Dude take your time and recover! I'm about your same age and trying to get over an ankle injury myself - I'd love to see the break down of your recovery routine!
Dom we all love you and what you do. Please take as much time as you need to recover and stay healthy. We aren't going anywhere
You could do a series going through the reality of recovery or a recovery journey, keeps people watching and a lot of people starting parkour don't realise that recovery from inevitable injuries is a part of it or think they are indestructible
Take care, Dom ❤ you’re a legend and we are all following the recovery journey
I totally understand not letting yourself recover properly. I've done the same when recovering from broken bones. It is such an important thing, and better late than never. Hope your recovery goes smoothly
Mereces un descanso Dom. No hay ningún problema en que subas entrenamientos de menor impacto o menos ''sorprendentes'' para los espectadores que no conocen la complejidad de cada movimiento. Es más importante ser fuerte para poder ser útil y que sigas divirtiéndote con la comunidad de cada país al que viajas, lo más importante es que te sientas cómodo y puedas entrenar por muchos años más... Me imagino todos esos meses que debiste cargar con el dolor 😔 tómate tu tiempo Dom, seguramente aprendes mucho de ti y de otros en esta etapa de recuperación, e incluso podrías descubrir nuevos movimientos. Sigue inspirando a las generaciones ¡Un fuerte abrazo!
Well bro I've been following you for a while and I hope that you take it easy just to be safe and not end some of your carrier but Ill be praying for your fast recovery and hoping for the best! Your really big inspiration and keep up the good work!
Adding to the masses of comments asking for you to share that recovery routine you're following!
I feel it'd feel especially relevant to myself due to my style of street dance, house, and the "ankle breaking" moves I'm fond of. If you ever wanna check us out, Friday nights 7PM at ICC ;D
My mums says you're a crazy handsome man, keep healthy and thank you for sharing your hard lesson of listening to your body of even if you feel like getting away with it, safer to check than sorry I'm incapacitated.
Yo - a complete video of your recovery would be awesome! I fully dislocated my ankle 2 months ago (the thing was bent sideways and I needed to go under to get it put back) so I’d be stoked to see how your rehabbing your ankle for parkour! :) cheers mate 😊
Was wondering where you’d gone.
Glad you’re in recovery eventually though.
A good lesson for the young guns here, “rest up and get help when needed, not when you eventually can’t do anything”
Say hi to your mum for me 😉
I bet that this is so frustrating for you man, I’ve been disabled since birth, and wheelchair bound since 2012 (although I’ve always struggled with my mobility), and I also suffer from scoliosis as well on top of all that… Which gives me daily back pain unfortunately!! So I know just how bad it can actually be, just try and be very present and honest with yourself about how you wanna spend the next 5-10+ years of your life… As I had spinal surgery in 2012 to help with my scoliosis, and like you I didn’t do any physio work after the surgery, as I’d never done anything like that before and I was ‘fine’, so why would this be any different?🤷🏻♂️ Well I had my surgery with a 6-12 month recovery afterwards, and I was completely bed bound for the first 2 months after the surgery…
And since then I’ve been entirely dependent on my wheelchair, and I don’t have any real regrets in my life, but not doing physio after that spine op, or any physio after the operation I had to tighten both of my ankle tendons 13 months later, really are my only regrets throughout my 24 year long life so far… Trust me Dom, you need to do the physio, maybe even surgery on them (it wouldn’t surprise me at all tbh…) As annoying, and as frustrating, and as painful as it is, you don’t wanna go from where you were at in 2020/2021 to being completely wheelchair bound bro I promise you on that shit… It’s a LOT harder than people EVER expect it to be (both physically and mentally, trust me…)
And also, not to rub salt in the wounds AT ALL… But you’re also 30, closing in on 31, obviously you still have a LOT let in the tank, but that won’t last for forever will it unfortunately, and working through injuries as bad as these will only shorten that time you’ll be able to work like this for won’t it?
Obviously I’m not a doctor or nothing, but in my opinion and from experiences with my spinal and ankle surgeries, you should at least look into surgery on the left ankle for sure, and then actively recover from it afterwards, and maybe even surgery on the right ankle too! And just make sure that you take the proper steps needed to recover from them as best as you can do, obviously your parkour will take a massive dip, but in my opinion it’s better to take a dip in ability whilst you recover if it extends the length of time you’ll be able to do this incredibly sport for🤷🏻♂️
And trust me on this mate, future Dom will either love you or hate you for it depending on whether or not you take the proper measures to recover from these injuries or not… As you know, your ankles are literally everything in the sport you do, and you need them for almost everything you do, so you need to protect them as best as you can… And you just need to keep being honest and strict as fuck with yourself really… Think about future Dom and how he wants to spend the next 10 years +, do you wanna still be doing these big massive flips and what not that you’re known for? Obviously you do, but if you keep ignoring your injuries and what not, you’re not going to be able to are you? As I said before, obviously physio is a pain in the ass, it’s boring as fuck, you only feel worse for it at first, and you don’t notice it helping you at all at first either… But if you don’t do it you’ll be in a LOT worse of a place than you would be if you did it, and the earlier you catch the injury the better (obviously).
I wish you nothing but the absolute best moving forwards, andddd I’m sorry for typing out a fucking novel here🙃🤣
Also one final thing, my mum said hello back to you🙋🏻♀️🤦🏻♂️
Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. You're such a big personality, full of enthusiasm and love. We will be here whether you're flipping off buildings or not.
Same thing happening to me with my knee, over probably years of training and thinking that I was doing enough to keep them from damage, I had actually been building up scar tissue, which I am now working to break down with low impact/low weight squats and deep tissue massages. Sometimes I feel alright and I wanna do some jumps but the weakness and pain comes fast and reminds me what I’d been doing wrong all along
Stay safe for a time and I hope you get your ankle back 100% 🔥
I feel you Dom, You got some tough ankles, I nearly snapped my right midfoot tendon while doing a simple side, needed surgery and now just taking it easy hoping it will heal within time for me to get back out there during summer. Thank you for this kind of video! Inspiriting me to get back on my feet the proper way. (some exercises to get my ankles warmed up would be nice too, atleast when I'm no longer non weight bearing!) Thanks Dom!
A video on your ankle rehab would be super helpful. I’m currently recovering from ankle injuries and would appreciate the knowledge 🔥
If anyone unsubscribes just because you have a bit of a setback is on them. Showing the risks and the costs of beeing at your level is educational as well. I have never done parkour but I have been injured a lot in other various sports or stupid stunts in my youth and boy how easy it is to skip the proper rehab and think "Nah, it'll be fine!" and not letting things heal properly.
And also your videos where you are not the main subject of the video is also entertaining. It's nice to see you lifting other people up.
So as I see it, even if you have really bad luck and never going to do insane stunts again, I belive you can still have a fantastic and thriving youtube channel and brand.
Damn. Hope you will fully recover. Take your time, bro! And yah, your routine would be interesting.
I talked today with a friend that didnt know you about how much of a leyend you are. You dont need to prove anything, have q well recovery, and enjoy life like you know! Love you 🍅
Please continue uploading on your recovery and strength building!!!
This was fascinating to hear from you! Hope you recover with the quickness.
MASSIVE LOVE DOMTOMATO!!!
Wish you Godspeed recovery G, looking forward to seeing you push the sport again!
Definitely post videos about your recovery. It's valuable and interesting. It could really help other athletes out, not just in case they are in need of recovery but also to help them possibly avoid prolonging their injuries in the first place.
Recover right and come back strong 🙏🏼. I’m on recovery mode too rn so I feel your pain of having to actually work on getting back the right way instead of bouncing back easily from an injury like before
I would love a full breakdown of your recovery exercises! ☺
Good luck with your ankles mate!
The sad reality about Parkour is it’s for the most part, a young man’s game just like most sports that require you to compete at the highest level. It’s just not sustainable for our bodies to endure that much stress/impact on a frequent basis without any consequences. Speaking from experience, once you hit late 20’s early 30’s, it’s a slow and gradual decline. That’s when your body starts telling you it can’t take the same kind of impact you used to be able to take when you were younger. That’s when you really have to start listening to your body and start taking care of it whether that’s rest, proper nutrition, physio, massages, stretching, yoga etc. I’ve been in Dom’s shoes before so I really feel for him. Rest well and thank you for continuing to inspire us all! 🖤💪
Man I thought u were gonna say it's all over! I am so glad to know u will b back. All the best in your recovery
Oh yeah give us the full recovery video. I have the same mind set of grind out the pain. Roll an ankle, work it hard and careful till sure enough to do something. I over extended my left arc doing a precision and it still after 2 months gives me grief. I pretend it isn't there, but also am over using my right foot and scared of overextending again. I dunno, I understand your mindset of working through the pain, but I'd really like to just recover. I cant really afford medical treatment but should prolly be on PT. Show us your routine for free healthcare. It'd be super nice of you. Also imma follow and like.
Dom, I just wanted to say we are here and not going anywhere. Thank you for FINALLY taking care of yourself, you are very important to so many people. You as a person as much you as an athlete. As a trainer and mentor to young athletes, it's so so important they see these types of videos, they know your process. I think it would be great to share your routine but just to share your thoughts openly and honestly like this is great. Would love to see videos like this more often from you because you are such a passionate and eloquent speaker. A true pillar of the community and ambassador for the sport. Please remember some people are here for the jumps, but those of us who are here for the long haul are here for you.
I don't do parkour, but I'd be really interested in a full breakdown of your recovery/rehab process. Injuries are something that has plagued me in multiple sport and it's interesting to hear how different individuals cope, especially at an elite level.
Look after yourself and your body Dom, and keep up the fab content, even if it's not parkour/training based.
Big love Dom.
Can see how hard it is I'm your eyes to get through that.
I tore the ligaments off my ankle doing a front flip and the recovery really put a downer on me.
But you got this man, do what you gotta do and come back stronger.
Dom show us the recovery exercises and stages that you're going through, we all could benefit and learn how to approach these injuries.
I wish you all the best for your recovery. But please take more care about your health. It would be really depressing to see a legend go because of not taking a break for health where it’s needed (getting an X-ray and mri as well). All the best to you and your moment journey🙏🏾
I have just stumbled across this channel and from what I have seen so far it looks great. Thales your time to recover fully, but in the mean time you have earned my sub
Thank's Dom. Thanks for the up date! Take your time! With All you need!
Thank the gods Dom, that you turned the corner!!! I am so so glad to hear that you are on the road to full recovery. Going THROUGH the pain is not the way, believe me. Ruined my ankle doing sports (Kendo) to a degree, that I got a permanent inflamation, then lost the upper ankle joint (because I trained to a point that the cartilage is gone). The upper join is now plastic and titanium, proper cyborg stuff... and because that stuff cannot regenerate but only deteriorate my sporty days are over.
Let that be a cautionary tale, dear readers! You can train through some pain (exhaustion, bruises, cut skin) but pain that is related to bone/tendon inflammation is never a smart move! Your body is telling you something. Listen to it.
I remember you telling me about this in Brighton, I didn't realise it was to this extent! Look after yourself dude, you've got years left in you, take the time, rest and recover! Heal up fast my man!
You single handedly changed the sport of Parkour, with your amazing athletics and fearlessness to do things , most people considered impossible. Many of the things you have done, could have ended in death or at least crippling injuries,had you erred a minute amount. I have truly been in awe of your abilities and confidence, but there comes a day when a man needs to realize it is over. Instead of seeing you do a few more tricks and destroy your body , I would like to see you write your life story, possibly with a ghost writer, and start talking to people about making a movie about you. I think if you took a video of your highlights around to the right people in the movie industry they would see the appeal and be on board right away. The hero doesn't always need to be carried out on his shield , You have had a fascinating, exciting life, you are very charismatic and people want to like you. That is invaluable. {make sure you have someone in charge of your money you trust and that knows what they are doing, so many people have gotten wealthy and had it lost or taken immediately because of those 2 things. Best wishes to you , whatever you choose to do and I will pray for you.
First - I don't subscribe simply because of the huge stuff - there are plenty of dudes out there doing huge stuff - but they are not doing the humour, they are not doing the charisma, they are not doing the 'coaching and encouragement' - I watch YOU because of who you ARE, not only because of what you do. Almost all 'extreme' athletes get injured, have form slumps, get performance dips and dry times - anyone who pays attention, as a spectator, knows this and does not begrudge an athlete those 'off' seasons. Thanks for the transparency and it was encouraging to hear you identify your poor choices along that path - that is the only way to avoid the same choices next time around. Something 'like' this was likely to happen to you at some point, either simply because of the level you function at or simply because age shifts the bodies capacities and this can trip up athletes working at the dangerous edge of human potential, as they age. The question going forward will be - what did you learn and how well did you learn it? You are an enthusiast and a DOer - both traits that make it hard to step back, say 'no', not jump in. Finding the balance of who you are and how you "do you" AND how to give yourself maximum longevity is one of those seriously personal things that seems different for every athlete. I looked at various of those photos of your ankles and shuddered at the damage that level of bruising and swelling implied. Astonishing that you could keep doing even half of what you do, on those ankles. You are a national treasure (Unrecognised treasures are still treasures.) so I kinda hope you look after yourself so you have longevity to spare.
Recovery breakdown video please…
seeing “one of the best” needing to take the necessary time to heal & recover, could be the necessary inspiration some young practitioners might need to do the same and give their recovery the necessary time and understanding needed to get back to their training & be just like their favorite athletes & practitioners.
Letting them know that; healing is also part of the journey of “being the best”.
Thenk you for being you! Take care, and don't rush recovery, especially not for youtube or social media.
We love you!
It'd be nice to show a bit of rehab in some videos, it's always very helpful, humbling and inspiring to see parts of all the process/session...
Have a good one!
It's so important that parkour athletes talk about injuries because the next generation has to go in with an awareness of the dangers. Storror seem to be all in some stage of injury at the moment and even younger teams like Phat seem to be debilitated. You've got to have faith that your core audience will have the patience to be there after six months of rehab, because recovery breaks are just going to get longer and longer if you don't heal up.
Would love to see a video going into detail on your recovery exercises 🙌
With reference to injuries that result in bruising, prevent the bruising by applying immediate pressure! The bruising is because tiny blood vessels that will start leaking blood in the subcutaneous tissues. However, when applying immediate pressure you'll prevent bleeding in the tissues. It takes 3-5 minutes for the platelets to glue together to cover the leaks in these tiny blood vessels. So, always immediately provide pressure with your hand etc. People always watch for example, their ankle swell, instead of preventing the swelling by applying immediate pressure to prevent the blood from leaking into the tissues. Your recovery will be so much quicker.
"Out of the walking game" xD
Im right there with you, gotta take it "slow", I know I suck at that and I think you're even worse you madman but you will be back strong! Physio takes time and especially at your lvl, we'll be waiting
Take as long as you need to heal the heel, Dom.
Tendon and ligament damage can take a couple of months.
When I did mine I wore boots to limit ankle range.
Wish you a full recovery. All the best from the Netherlands.
I know how you feel. I don't do parkour but I'm a fell runner and injured my knee really badly at the height of my fitness. Every time I started to get going without pain again I'd start racing and trying as though I was still the same 'athlete' and constantly reinsurer myself. In the end I had to accept I need to go back to basics as if I'm almost a beginner again. Hurts but I'm sure you'll come back stronger than ever with the right approach
We can wait for you ma boy! Rest and recover yourself well no need to rush! Much power for you crazy lad!❤🎉🇦🇷
Bro, even u change the content on your videos nobody is gonna unsubscribe, you are such a good boy! Keep It Up!
Wonderfull and down to earth insight into your struggles, would love to see more about the recovery process. Just take you time man, it will all be here for you on the other side!
It's super impressive to see how much tolerance for pain you have and how mentally strong you are. There is definitely a lot of value in that. That being said, look after you self bro. I'll be bugging you for recovery tips the next time our paths cross
I hope you're able to make it back to full comfortability and confidence. Love your videos man! Best of luck
Big fan Dom. I’m sure that pressure to be pushing yourself is unreal. Take your time and heal up bro. Everyone will be around. Would love to see what you’re up to in recovery.
Health first bro. You’re amazing. Must have a crazy pain tolerance. Keep up the great work, you’re doing awesome 🤘🤘🤘
A recovered Dom is a Dom worth waiting for - heal up, train up, and definitely share the recovery advice
Would love a breakdown of you ankle rehab exercises! I too have been dealing with a bum ankle for awhile, obviously not to the extent of your, and really want to start working at building my strength and stability in it back up!
Honestly, this is one of the best updates I could have heard, take your time off, take months, even a year off, I love to see you working on your craft and I would love to be able to see that for years to come, hopefully your physiotherapy will get you back in prime shape.
Thanks for all the amazing stuff you've shown us through the years, excited to see you back out there.
Would love a PT/Recovery video mate. Hope you start feeling yourself again soon!
Yes pls, make that recovery video would be very interesting!! Proper recovery is so important, take all the time your body (and your mind if necessary) needs man!
Get healthy bro, I think the pressure that you feel to push yourself is unimaginable, but we need you in the game long so take your time for rehab! Would love to see your full recovery process!
