How to get on top of pain quickly š„ (generally speaking)
Pain is quite complex and tricky to solve.
Thereās never any person that has the same solution.
But in our early stage rehab we utilise high tension drills a lot.
While they arenāt going to get you running and jumping again, they help create the foundation to build into those activities.
High tension rehab does 2 things:
1. Restores load capacity of the muscles - letās say your brain has turned the dial down on your muscle and puts a cap at 60% effort. High tension drills basically help the brain turn the dial back up towards 100%.
2. Gives a sense of safety to the nervous system - extremely important, if the nervous system doesnāt feel safe to do certain tasks because thereās an underlying belief that it could lead to pain or injury then the brain will āshort circuitā the system and not allow you to complete that task. These drills can be a really great way to circumvent this.
