Richard Symister, Physiotherapist & Strength/Mobility Coach

04/11/2025

In the 30 years of being a physical therapist and strength coach, I’ve learned a great deal about health, fitness, and wellness. But I’ve not been following the essential principles of growth, healing, rest, and recovery. I have not been practicing what I preach. I’ve been skipping steps, ignoring what my body was trying to tell me during and outside of training. And so I’d repeat the same cycle — train for a few months …get injured…take time off to heal… train for a few months…get injured…

Moving forward into 2025, I am abandoning the insanity!  No more training through pain. No more dreading workouts. No more injuries.

Returning to the drawing board, I will rebuild this 57-year-old frame and once again enjoy working out. I am going to make all of my muscle and joint pain disappear.

Who out there has had physical therapy? Did your physical therapist leave you by yourself, to do your exercises, checking back every few minutes to give you that quick peptalk?

Today, I’m NOT Training Thru My Elbow Pain 💪🏿🩹!

When I was younger, I got away with it busting thru workouts with an injury. Of course, I was invincible🦸🏿‍♂️.

Now, in my 50’s, I gotta be much more sensible and 👂🏽listen to the “issues in my tissues”.

Benching was on the training 🏋🏿‍♀️itinerary for today. But pain dictated a change in plans, telling me to unload my sore elbow joint, and opt for another exercise —-push ups.
