โ€œBroken Shoulderโ€ โžก๏ธ Completing a Triathlon ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

A shoulder break can feel like a huge setback, especially when youโ€™re used to training regularly.

The fear of losing progress or not getting back to the sports you love can be just as tough as the injury itself.

With our patients, instead of stopping completely, we focus on working around the injury safely... as shown in this fantastic review by Katherine.

We adjusted her exercises, managing training load, and built the shoulder back up step by step.

Fast forward to now, and Katherine has successfully completed a triathlon.

Rehab isnโ€™t just about fixing injuries.

Itโ€™s about helping people regain confidence in their body and get back to doing what they love.

Huge credit to Katherine for the work sheโ€™s put in throughout the process and thanks so much for the kind words... means the world to me ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ.

Do this when you feel pain in the gymโ€ฆ ๐Ÿšจ

Pain during training doesnโ€™t mean you need to stop altogether.

In most cases, it means something needs adjustingโ€ฆ not avoiding.

And more often than not, itโ€™s not the exercise thatโ€™s the problem. Itโ€™s the load.

For example, if lifting 20kg is fine but 40kg causes pain, Iโ€™d argue the problem is the weight not the lift itself.

So before you quit a movement entirely, try lowering one of these:

โœ… The weight
โœ… The volume
โœ… The range of motion

Adjust one variable at a time until the pain settles.

This will allow you to become more confident with the movement (bypassing fear avoidance) to build back up in a safe manner.

And if things donโ€™t improve, thatโ€™s when itโ€™s time to see an expert ๐Ÿ‘‹

Good rehab isnโ€™t about only resting and doing nothing. Itโ€™s about learning how to train around pain, so you can keep moving, stay strong, and actually recover properly.

My favourite exercise to prevent Shin Splints ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Some people think shin splints come from โ€œtight calvesโ€ or โ€œbad shoesโ€, but in my experience the real issue is often 2 things:

1๏ธโƒฃ Doing too much too soon with running.
2๏ธโƒฃ Weak or overworked muscles at the front of your shins.

That muscle (the tibialis anterior) works hard every time your foot hits the ground when you run as it controls the descent of your foot.

If it canโ€™t control your foot dropping down, impact increases & your shins take excessive stressโ€ฆ which thatโ€™s when pain startsโ€ฆ

โœ… The fix?

Strengthen your tibialis anterior with banded dorsiflexions, a simple exercise you can do at home, even while watching TV.

Do 3 sets of 8โ€“15 reps, 2โ€“3x per week, and youโ€™ll:
โœ… Absorb impact better
โœ… Control your stride more smoothly
โœ… Handle mileage with less risk of pain

Pair it with calf raises and smart LOAD MANAGEMENT (I.e. not doing too much too soon), and shin splints should be a thing of the past ๐Ÿ™Œ

Why I donโ€™t stretch (much) as an injury expert ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Stretching isnโ€™t badโ€ฆ it feels good, helps mobility, and can ease pain or tightness.

But when it comes to actually reducing your risk of injury, the research is clear:

๐Ÿ’ช Strength training = up to 69% lower injury risk
๐Ÿคธ Stretching alone = about 4%

The difference?
Itโ€™s not just about being mobile, itโ€™s about being strong and stable through your full range of motion.

So, keep stretching if you enjoy itโ€ฆ but if your goal is injury prevention, make strength training your priority.

Why I donโ€™t stretch (much) as an injury expert ๐Ÿ‘‡

Stretching can feel great and ease pain & tightness, but when it comes to actually preventing injuries the evidence points to something strongerโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ Strength training reduces injury risk by ~69%
๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ Stretching alone? Around 4%

The reason: itโ€™s not just about being mobile, itโ€™s about being strong through your full range of motion.

โœ… Use dynamic stretching before training
โœ… Strength work for physical resilience & injury resistance
โœ… Static stretching to reduce tightness & if you enjoy it

And remember, nothing prevents injury 100%, but good load management & strength throughout a good range of motion will always give you a good chance ๐Ÿ’ช
