Recovery starts with the situation
After exercise, explain the activity, its duration, your fluid intake and any symptoms. Ordinary muscle soreness or a desire to recover quickly does not establish a need for an IV. Drinking, food, sleep and a sensible training plan can be relevant. An infusion should have a reason that goes beyond the sports label.
Recognise a different level of concern
Severe weakness, collapse, confusion, chest pain or unusually severe muscle pain after exertion should not be handled as a routine recovery package. A clinician may recommend a facility for examination and testing. Do not schedule a mobile appointment while ignoring an injury or signs of significant illness.
Athletes should discuss their rules
If you compete under anti-doping rules, tell the clinician before arranging any infusion. Sporting eligibility can depend on the treatment, volume, setting and applicable rules. Check the current rules with your sport’s responsible authority. This website does not certify that a named drip is permitted for competition.
Questions to bring to your consultation
- What is the reason for the proposed care, and could another approach be more suitable?
- Who is responsible for assessment, prescribing and monitoring, and how can I verify their professional status?
- What is the complete price in KES, expected appointment time and follow-up plan?
Questions before you choose
Can I have a drip during a race or gym session?
A public active setting is not a suitable assumption for a monitored mobile visit. Discuss symptoms and an appropriate private setting.
Will this improve my performance?
Performance or faster recovery is not guaranteed. The reason for treatment should be assessed individually.
