PAIN
Had a discussion today with my brother about pain. Everyone deals with it in some regard. To a certain extent it’s completely normal.
A lot of people assume trainers are free of this. But I guarantee you ask any trainer or coach and they will tell you in some shape or form they have (or are currently are) dealt with pain.
But not all pain is created equal and not all pain is bad. Some important things to consider…
1. What is pain?
2. How does the pain I’m experiencing affect me mentally, emotionally, physically?
3. What are the things that I can still do even with this pain? (I.e what do you enjoy - do more of that)
4. What activities can I do to make the pain lessen? (I.e. what activities, exercises, movements can you still do that can allow you to elevate the heart rate and stay in shape)
Lastly - it’s always good to talk to a medical professional to see what the best steps for you might be. After speaking with them connect with me and let’s come up with a game plan to work with and around tour pain to get you feeling better.
We all have some level of pain management to deal with but it makes it a lot easier to have someone work you through it. Let’s start moving more, moving better, and getting healthier.
Don’t let pain keep you from starting. Listen to your body, start where you are, and then progress on that until you’re where you want to be.
Reach out and let’s talk. 💪🏼
