One crucial thing to know about the healing process is that when your pain has mostly gone, and you haven't had a flare up in a while, that indicates that your injury is about 30% healed. To ensure that your injury heals completely, continue using the BFST for a month or two after your pain has gone.
Other good indications of healing include when you can exercise and do normal activities without pain during or afterwards. When you notice that your range of motion is more normal, and your pain and swelling are completely gone, that also indicates that your injury is recovered. However, you can continue to use the BFST preventively by using it once a day, or maybe several times a week, in order to maintain the increase in circulation. This will keep the healed area strong and prevent reinjury.
