STILL in pain and now scared to do any activity?
It started off as a bit of pain but you were able to keep training through it.
It didn’t get better so you tried to give it rest but then when you went back to activity it flared again right away.
You kept doing things on and off hoping it would go away but it never did and now it seems like its getting worse….
Now you’ve stopped doing all the activities you enjoy because you’re worried about making it worse.
Does this sound familiar?
Unfortunately, we see this all the time and it’s a classic case of not understanding what the underlying issue is and not addressing the root cause properly.
For many injuries and pain, we often need to load the tissue for it to heal, overcome disuse or reprogram the nervous system but many people are afraid of loading and activity with pain.
There are typically very specific exercise parameters (load, frequency, intensity, etc) that need to be used for specific conditions and if this is not followed you end up in this continuous cycle.
This is why it’s important to work with professionals who understand the underlying pathology (condition) and are confident getting you to move and load in a safe way that will help you get better, even if there is still pain or discomfort.
Many conditions will remain painful for a period of time until the body starts to adapt sufficiently. This means it might be painful or uncomfortable for the first while during rehab.
Where many people go wrong is avoiding pain or constantly starting and stopping activity and not following a plan.
At Myofunction we ensure we follow the latest scientific evidence and take approaches to rehab that work. This is how we’re able to help so many people get back to activity and doing all the things they enjoy!
