I often see people who struggle with injury when they try to get fit and this really puts them off. They sometimes think being fit and strong is not for them. I believe we can all be fit and strong, in our own way. Not everyone will be able to do everything, certainly at first.
Sometimes what we need to do is break things down into manageable chunks. If a squat makes your knees sore try a shallow wall squat instead.
If you develop pain after exercising does it last more than a couple of rest days or is it a persistent problem? Some discomfort is quite normal when you start exercising in a new way, but we need to adjust our routine to let our body recover and strengthen.
If you do over-do it, or if you are struggling to reach your goals due to pain, Orkney Therapy Services is here to help 😊
