Injury Prevention & Recovery
If you are like most people you have been injured at some point in your life. That injury effects how you have to exercise or maybe you train for events but the same chronic injuries keep popping up along the way. We know there is nothing more frustrating than being in pain and not being able to do what you love. We don’t want you to be injured. In this blog we cover some of the most common injuries and conditions people face and give you exercises and exercise programs to help you with that injury and prevent it from happening in the first place.
* Injuries tend to be multifaceted and we cannot guarantee these exercises will help or replace an in person practitioner, but they can be worth a shot first before you spend $100’s or $1000’s seeing a practitioner in person. If you have an injury or condition you would like us to cover contact us. If we think we can help you we will try, if not we will send you to the right site or person that can.
