Pain & Injuries in Barbell Training, Pt. 2 | Do You Need an MRI? Progressive Rehab & Strength
-
- Fitness
In Part 2 of the pain & injury series, Drs. Rori Alter and Alyssa Haveson explore the three components involved in the experience of pain, the biopsychosocial model of pain, and why people experience pain differently.
Pain is a complex physical and emotional response, that sometimes -- but not always! -- occurs in response to injury or physical trauma.
It's tempting to trace pain and injury to a specific event, or a problematic joint or muscle, but this is often difficult to do.
While MRIs are a useful tool, they don't tell the whole story about pain either.
When barbell strength trainees or powerlifters get injured there is often fear of the unknown.
The medical and exercise narratives often lead us to fear certain movements and hyperfocus on specific tissues, bones, or joints that are the “one” thing causing your injuries.
But the truth of the matter is:
Pain does not always mean damage and damage doesn’t always mean pain The cause of injuries are multifactorial and there is never just “one thing” in or outside of your body that causes an injury
In this episode of the PRS Podcast we are going to help you understand why it’s important to continue to barbell train through injuries and as the injury rehab process.
We cover:
The medical-model narratives around barbell training, injuries, and pain that lead people to fear lifting. [00:08:59] Understanding the pain experience through the lens of the Bio-Psycho-Social model of pain and why everyone responds to pain and injury differently. [00:23:56] What tissue damage means for pain and dysfunction and what pain or dysfunction means about tissue damage. [00:25:38] The importance of MRI findings in the injury diagnosis process.
