🧠 Did You Know?
Overuse injuries are more common than traumatic injuries in adults.

Many aches and pains don’t come from one big accident — they build up over time from repetitive movements, poor mechanics, or doing too much too fast. Activities like walking, running, yard work, sports, or even desk work can slowly strain muscles, tendons, and joints.

The good news?�Early evaluation, proper conditioning, and small adjustments can often prevent these injuries from becoming long-term problems.

❓ Pain Here? 👉 It Might Actually Be Coming From Here.

Knee pain doesn’t always start in the knee.�Shoulder pain isn’t always a shoulder problem.
👉 Tight hips can overload your knees�
👉 Weak glutes can stress your lower back�
👉 Poor shoulder mobility can irritate your neck

The body works as a chain—when one link isn’t moving well, another often pays the price.
That’s why chasing pain alone rarely fixes the problem.
�Finding the source is where real progress begins.

💬 Comment “PAIN” if you want help understanding your pain pattern.
�🔁 Share this with someone who’s been treating the symptom—but not the cause.
