Don’t search for the quick fix that doesn’t move the needle long run.

Is it any coincidence you’ve injured your back 3 times in the past 2 years

When all you’ve done is get needles and cupping to the area

While going straight back to squatting those weights you definitely don’t have the leg strength for?

And not built any actually movement capacity or strength?

It’s a crazy thought process.

Injury is your body telling you something is up.

In sessions with clients, the most important thing we do is identify potential ‘why’s’ for injury

Then figure out ‘what’ we’re going to do to address those ‘why’s’.

Relying on passive treatments for persistent issues will leave you frustrated and questioning will you ever be better.

Actually working to improve your strength and movement will give you confidence, clarity and ability to keep doing what you love.

Give me a shout if you’ve been stuck in an endless loop of passive treatments

And actually want to get better long run!

When looking at plyometrics most people look at the height of the jump.

When the real benefit is in the ability to land,

Then produce force at speed to leave the ground.

The more you efficient you are at this, the faster you will move.

Whether that be agility work for sport.

Or your Olympic lifting power for CrossFit.

Plyos should always be in the programme somewhere.

Look at the highest level athletes anywhere online, they will be doing both intensive and extensive plyometrics to compliment their training.

Which is why plyos make up a huge part of the rehab process for me with clients.

Knowing how to train through an injury is a vital skill to have as an athlete.

Just because that Achilles is flaring up

Doesn’t mean you need to stop running.

(Sometimes it does but that’s for another conversation!)

Just managing the volume and intensity of running can often be enough to let the tendon settle.

While building strength, better movement and more resilience.

Before increasing the training intensity and volume when ready.

This applies to pretty much all those niggly type injuries

That you just can’t shake but they’ve been there for ages.

Learning when to push through and when to pull back is hard.

But with the right guidance and knowledge is very do-able.

The magic number for me when working with athletes needing to train through an injury is a 3/10.

But that can be pushed to 5 if needed depending on the individual.

This is all on the prerequisite that the pain does not last more than 24 hours before returning to at most a 1-2/10 at rest the next day.

If we can manage to do that while keeping you training and competing.

That’s a job well done.

For more information how to achieve this give me a DM and we can discuss your own injury and how to do this!

When you get injured is the first thing you think is ‘I’ll get a massage’?

Or stretch, or foam roll, or get bent into a pretzel and cracked 100 times.

If your goal is a return to full performance

Hate to break it to you but it won’t work.

These things can help manage the pain and create a change in the pain response.

But it’s not going to get that injury fixed long term.

That takes a good plan, dedication and time.

Which usually isn’t what you want to hear after picking up an injury.

Unfortunately that’s the truth 🤷🏻

So get the plan in place, put the work in, and see the results you actually want.
