Before you read, unclench your jaw (and maybe your butt cheeks too)
These are just a few red flags that we know you all ignore, so let's jump into what they could mean and why you should be looking into some of these
🚩 Post workout soreness - if you're feeling post workout soreness last a bit longer than 2 days, that may be a sign that you've pushed your body a bit too far and to scale it back next time
🚩 Muscle tenderness - we've all been here, and it's not necessarily a red alert if your muscles are tender but that should be something you're keeping up with maintenance of stretching
🚩Pain at rest - rest should be something that helps alleviate pain, when you body is relaxed nothing but blood pumping and breathing is happening, you shouldn't be struggling with pain.
And if you are, we think it's time you get that checked out
🚩Tingling & numbness - if you're having tingling, numbness, altered sensation or loss of sensation as a whole, getting assessed for nerve impingement is crucial
🚩Heavy feeling in legs or arms - the sensation of heaviness (not from a heavy leg or arm day) could mean a circulation or lymphatic drainage problem that you don't want going on any longer than it has been already
🚩Clenching - clenching muscles like your jaw or the other common one - glutes, can be stress related, muscle weakness somewhere else in the chain, and can lead to other chronic injuries/pain jaw - headaches, TMJ pain, neck pain glutes - low back pain, muscle imbalances, pelvic floor dysfunction
🚩Puffiness - theeeee one that people overlook a lot. Puffiness is a sign of lymphatic drainage problems, combine puffiness with tenderness
We look at your body as a whole when rehabbing injuries, caring for chronic pain and creating programs, and each piece is just as important as the next
