🚫 Is Pain stopping you from training?
You DON’T have to stop moving, complete rest is rarely your friend – you can TRAIN AROUND your injury!
As an Orthopaedic Therapist in Cork, I help clients keep progressing by:
✅ Avoiding movements that cause pain (for now)
✅ Finding smart alternatives that target the same muscles without discomfort
✅ Maintaining or even progressing exercises that feel great
As an example:
If squatting is flaring up your back pain ❌
Swapping to alternatives like split squats, step-ups or machine work that build those legs & glutes pain-free ✅
But if deadlifts or hinging movements feel good? Keep hinging and progressing them! 💪
This smart approach means faster recovery, consistent gains, and no more frustrating plateaus.
This approach also gives you the freedom to work towards pain free movement in an exercise currently giving you trouble while still making progress in general.
So whether you are looking to solve that niggling injury, or simply want some hands on work done to help when you have overdone yourself, or simply want a massage to help relax from the stress of life, give me a shout and let me know what I can do for you.
