- Health & Fitness
Happy Friday!
Let's talk about pain - and specifically, can you continue training when if you have pain?
Short answer to a very complex question: YES...most of the time. There are some caveats to this answer, and LOT's more to talk about moving forward but here is the biggest take home from today's episode:
If you are experiencing mild pain (At or below 4/10) you likely SHOULD continue to train with modification to ensure you aren't making your pain get WORSE during exercise. In general, our bodies heal faster when we stay active and keep moving vs. choosing complete rest.
If you are currently experiencing pain and it's impacting your training, or impacting you life - there is a team of clinical coaches at Stronger In Motion ready to help! Connect with us via our website, or via social media and let's get you moving better, with less pain, and more joy!
Tune in next week as we dive deeper into back pain and how it impacts big lifts like squats and deadlifts.
