The only thing that really makes CrossFit injuries different is the demand and the fact that many movements are performed under fatigue.
Other than that, there aren’t really “CrossFit-specific” injuries. The same issues we see in everyday rehab. Shoulder pain, knee pain, back pain can all still happen.
Every person has a different capacity, and every activity places different demands on the body. When the demands of the activity exceed what your body is currently prepared for, that’s when pain or injury can occur.
CrossFit simply combines a lot of movements, intensity, and fatigue, which means your body needs to be prepared for those demands.
