What do you do when injured?

We have all had some sort of injury at some point in our lives. Sometimes they can stop us in our tracks with pain. We might stop our normal activities for a while when that happens. Maybe seek support as to how to recover from that injury and pain. Something I see a lot of though is letting that initial recovery period continue indefinitely. Not going back to your activities. Doing less and less from the fear of reinjury and pain. I certainly did just that when dealing with issues with my back over the years. But avoiding the area and movement won't improve its resilience. Living in fear of pain as well erodes confidence and takes away getting to do the things we love. We need to get back to moving and challenging our areas of injury, finding the weak spots and making them stronger. It's slow and takes a lot of patience. Finding a plan to work with helps, as well as supportive people who have been on the journey as well. I've been working with a coach online specifically to strengthen my back for 8 months and it has been incredible to feel strong and not move with fear. I'm happy to say that you can get stronger at any age. There is always some movement available to you. We have space in our strength training sessions for new students on Thursdays evenings and Saturday mornings. Get in touch if you are interested.
