🚫 Don’t train through pain, BUT don’t stop everything cold-turkey either.
Injury isn’t the time to check out — it’s the time to TRAIN SMARTER.
As an Athletic Trainer, strength, and performance coach, I’ve worked with athletes at every level. The biggest mistake I see?
👉 Ignoring the injury OR shutting down completely.
🧠 Especially in pre- and post-surgical athletes, modifying activity is non-negotiable. Why?
✔️ Pre-surgery: Staying active (strategically) protects your baseline strength and mobility — and sets you up for a faster, smoother recovery.
✔️ Post-surgery: A well-designed plan keeps you moving safely while respecting healing timelines. You don’t lose everything — you just adjust the focus.
⚡️Better outcomes: drastically different mental health outlook, stay locked in—never skip a beat.
Training around injury isn’t just safe — it’s essential.
Done right, it speeds up return to sport, prevents compensations, and builds long-term resilience.
Your body just needs a new game plan—
