Taekwondo Injuries & Treatments

If you participate in Taekwondo, you will eventually get hurt. Luckily, most Taekwondo injuries are usually minor such as bruises or sprains. The following information shows you how to treat common Taekwondo injuries (i.e. a pulled hamstring or sprains) and comes from medical websites such as WebMD. However, for all major Taekwondo injuries, please see a doctor or call 911 (i.e. you are experiencing severe pain, an inability to walk, excessive bleeding, etc). Also to avoid many minor Taekwondo injuries, you must stretch religiously (before and after class) and strengthen your body.

* Popular sports injury books, stretching books, ice packs, ankle braces & knee braces from Amazon.

Treatment for Many Minor Taekwondo Injuries

  • Rest - Rest & protect the injured area. Take it easy until you are feeling better. Don't aggravate the injury.

  • Ice - Put ice on the injury to reduce swelling & pain. Apply ice or a cold pack for up to 10-20 minutes on the injury, 3 times per day. Wrap ice in a towel to avoid any direct contact to the skin.

  • Compression - Wrap the injury in an elastic bandage (i.e. Ace bandage) in order to reduce the swelling.

  • Elevation - Raise the injured area above heart level (i.e. lie down and raise your injured leg up on a pillow). This will help to reduce the swelling.

  • Relief - Use acetaminophen (i.e. Tylenol) or ibuprofen (i.e. Advil) for modest pain relief and to reduce the inflammation.
