Tips for Exercising When Injured or Living with Pain
-
Movement can often be the best solution for pain and decreased activity or limited mobility. It’s important to stay active and keep the body moving, but it’s also essential to listen to your body and not push beyond your limits.
-
Slow down your movements and be mindful of how your body feels as you exercise. It’s important to stay present in the moment and not let your mind wander, as this can increase the risk of injury.
-
If you have a history of chronic pain, injury, arthritis, or surgery, it’s important to work with a qualified fitness professional who can provide modifications or specific exercises to ensure your safety. Don’t be afraid to speak up and let your instructor know if you’re experiencing any pain or discomfort during your workout.
Safety is the #1 priority!
Proper technique is essential for effectively engaging the intended muscles, which can improve the connection between the brain and body. This connection is crucial for managing pain and facilitating recovery from injury.
You can do this! Break out of your comfort zone!
Every body can be active!
