I get this question a lot “how can I get stronger if the strengthening exercises hurt me?”

This patient right here came in with significant right knee pain and was having trouble competing at the highest level in her track meets. In my last post, I showed you all some techniques I used in her initial assessment to drive her treatment plan.

Here is a glimpse of some strategies to train around pain. All of these movements are pain free, but improving her strength and capacity to compete.

It is so important to receive guidance when rehabbing, because you can limit your setbacks, which can get you back to performing at your best sooner!

If you’re in the Charlotte metro area and want to receive this guidance message me!

This is cool to see how protective she is of her spine after injury and how it affects her movement. The normal range of motion should be first on the agenda before any CORE strengthening.
