Do "ni**les" matter?

Niggles are often known as mild musculoskeletal symptoms such as tightness and soreness.

These ni**les are commonly passed off as "nothing" and people are often told to push on and train.

However is this the right advice?

A paper by Matt Whalan showed that this might not be the case and that it's a warning sign for an injury about to occur.

A ni**le isn't predictive that someone will get injured, just that their risk is higher. You shouldn't sit out just because of a ni**le, report it/or see your physiotherapist so an assessment can be done. Secondary prevention in action 💪

This quote resonates extremely well with how we educate our patients on making sense of their pain.

It is a human tendency to assume life, or pain, needs to be a linear path. But the reality is that is very untrue.

We are going to have hills and valleys, ups and downs; just like our seasons will flourish and fall.

Ultimately, it is important to remember that after every fall, or every down, life gives us the opportunity to grow again, becoming stronger every time.

Send or share this quote to someone you think will find it beneficial as it is an important reminder for each one of us as we go through our own battles.
