1. “You can’t over stretch” 🧘♂️yes you definitely can, the problem for a lot of people is they find stretching makes their pain temporarily improve however in a lot of cases it can make them worse in the long term. Just ask anyone with hypermobility how their joints feel in their 30s 😬
2. 😓😰”No pain, no gain”…if I hear one more personal trainer say this I may cry! Progressive overload is great, however an actual injury will be made significantly worse if you keep doing the thing that cause it. Saying “No pain, No Gain” to an injury is a pretty easy way to ensure you won’t achieve your goals, the longer you have that problem the bigger it will get….(please stop messaging me a week before your hyrox competition with an injury you’ve been carrying all year expecting it to be fixed, it will only be a temporary patch up for the event)
3. “Running is bad for your knees” I gave a lecture to some Drs and Nurses, consultants and GP’s and the common thing that I kept getting asked is “how to convince people to stop running as it’s bad for your knees” I kept repeating to them it’s not bad for your knees. If you have knee pain when running it’s a sign to see a physiotherapist and figure out why, not a sign to stop running.
