Exercising With Pain
The reason why I wanted to talk about this is because I’ve noticed in the clinic that people will generally fall into one of two groups when it comes to exercising and pain.
Either you’re in group A - you’ve suffered an injury, and have decided not to do any exercise at all until it's feeling better. Sometimes this is because you're worried that you’re going to make it worse, or maybe you feel disheartened that you can't exercise like normal so you don't feel like training at all.
Or you're in group B - which is to choose to just ignore it, train like normal, don’t change anything, and hope that it will go away. Or maybe you tell yourself that you will take it a little easier than normal, but when you're in the moment you can’t help yourself and you feel the need to push yourself as hard as you can.
