Is Pain Getting in the Way?

Some people say ‘no pain, no gain’, but really, pain is the enemy of progress. Nothing is more likely to put men and women off sports and fitness, and taking a rest in response to pain is not a sign of weakness. Sore muscles may be a normal response to a change in routine, but persistent pain and joint pain are your body telling you, “Stop, I need to heal!” The trouble is, if you injure yourself every time you try to push things forward, you will never make progress.

Overuse injuries, joint problems and other sources of pain have root causes, and they’re not always obvious. Biomechanics testing can identify them. Addressing these issues through flexibility training, strength training, improved movement patterns and massage can allow you to move more efficiently and eliminate pain.

When you have the information you need to properly prepare your body for your training or practice, you can finally stop hurting yourself and move forward with confidence.

Find the Root Cause with Biomechanics Testing

Biomechanics testing can identify many issues that affect your performance and can cause injuries, giving you the opportunity to address them, For example:

• Muscle imbalances that can be addressed by strengthening opposing muscles and increasing flexibility.
• Problems with muscle and nerve function that can be addressed through flexibility training and massage.
• Foot pronation or supination that can be addressed through strengthening, flexibility & exercises.
• Gaps in your range of motion can be caused by issues with both joint mobility or muscle tightness; these have a variety of treatments and solutions.
