Just kidding.. that's not what the article says.
It's kinda interesting though. Basically, some MDs are starting to think that moderate excercise can help heal
certain
types of injuries.

I used to take serious rest periods after my heavier workouts. My knees, hips and all joints seemed to need it. For the past 6 months I've been making a conscious effort to keep moving through all the aches and pains and it works! The less active I am the longer it takes me to recover. For me, at least, the article made perfect sense. Ewa

Similar experience here- I had a nagging knee injury where it would tighten up unnaturally after 4 or 5 minutes of running, without fail. I took off 5 weeks completely, and tried running again, only to find that NOTHING had changed, it was as if I hadn't taken time off at all.... From there I got a health club membership and started a regimen of biking every other day for a week and then alternating that with days of running on grass for a half-mile at a time. Within three weeks, I was back to running the same distances of before! When you can't run, find some cross training that doesn't hurt.
