Introduction:
Old injuries and fractures can be both painful and disruptive to our movement. Our bodies are remarkable in their ability to protect and survive. When an area is injured, our body instinctively responds by swelling up to shield and compensate for the affected part. This adaptive mechanism allowed our ancestors to continue their daily activities, such as hunting and gathering, thousands of years ago. Remarkably, human evolution has not changed much in this aspect. Our bodies still perceive the need to move, hunt, eat, and survive.
Imbalance and Complications:
However, this protective response can lead to imbalances in our joints and muscles, as well as issues with our tissues and fascia. Even after an injured area has healed, our body and nervous system may continue to favor the unaffected side. This means that other joints, such as the knee, hip, or back, may be subjected to increased stress for prolonged periods until they eventually reach their breaking point. Unfortunately, the nervous system and subconscious mind are unaware of this imbalance and continue to function as they have adapted.
Rest as a Short-Term Solution:
Resting an injury should only be a short-term solution. The key lies in identifying which muscles and tissues are not functioning optimally and determining the underlying reasons for their dysfunction. By understanding this, we can focus on rehabilitating these areas through graded exposure and targeted exercises, leading to a reduction in pain symptoms.
Route to Pain-Free Living:
To embark on the journey to becoming pain-free, the following steps are recommended:
- Subjective Assessment: Share your story, providing details about how the injury or pain occurred, its duration, and the activities it hinders you from engaging in.
- Objective Assessment: A comprehensive examination will be conducted, involving muscle testing, palpation, and identifying areas of movement and load limitations.
- Treatment: The focus of treatment will be twofold: relieving the pain in the affected areas and challenging the weaker or dysfunctional areas through rehabilitative exercises.
- Homecare Program: A personalized graded exposure rehab program will be designed for you to follow at home. Videos will be provided for your convenience and easy access.

I firmly believe that our bodies hold the answers to healing; we simply need to guide them in the right direction. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t waste any more time. Reclaim the activities you love and reach out for a booking today.
