Why would your physio prescribe strength training when you're already in pain? π€
Because strengthening isn't just about building muscle. It can also help your body become better at managing pain, improve how load is distributed through your joints and tissues, and rebuild the strength and confidence that pain may have taken away.
When pain sticks around, it's easy to fall into a cycle of doing less because movement hurts. Over time, that can lead to weakness and make everyday activities feel even harder.
The right strengthening exercises help you gradually build your capacity again. It's not about pushing through pain or doing as much as possible. It's about finding the right challenge for your body and progressing from thereπ§ π
