Too often I hear “my back hurts when I deadlift.”

Which leads me to ask: “does it hurt the entire time or just when you reach a certain weight?”

Most will say “just when I hit X number, so I just cut it out all together.”

In my professional opinion that’s one of the worst routes you can take. Often times if your back starts to flare up at a heavier percentage of your one rep max, and not at a lower point it just means that you lack to the capacity to effectively perform the lift at that higher weight.

That’s where we begin to work together on appropriately looking at your form, joint mobility and programming your workouts to build the strength of all the muscles in your back and hips to allow you to reach your desired goals!

Remember our goal in rehab is to not avoid pain or the gym but to use them as effective tools to help you become your strongest and healthiest self!

If you would like help getting out of pain and back to crushing your workouts message us “GYM” and see how we can help you today!

If you struggle with pain and tenderness along your C- Section scar a great passive treatment is the use of a silicone patch.

The silicone patch provides enough pressure to help the scar start to lay down flat while also hydrating the tissues.

Here is a great overview of all things tendonitis. This is a frequent topic of conversation with clients who are battling these types of injuries.

The main points are:
1. the tendon gets inflamed when it’s stressed in a way it was able to prepare for.
2. Symptoms can range from 6 weeks to over a year if not treated properly.
3. The longer you let it linger the more intense the pain and the easier it is to set off.
4. Ultimately it is treated by stressing the tendon to allow healing, but not so much that you over power it and further aggravate the injury.
5. Factors such as sleep, nutrition and stress can positively or negatively affect it.
6. Journaling can help manage the psychological factors and aid recovery.
