When it comes to rehabbing an injury, there are basically two roads you can take.
The first is the safe one.
Modify training heavily, pull back from whatever’s aggravating it, protect the area and let it settle.
It’s steady, it’s predictable, and for a lot of people it’s the right call.
The downside?
It usually means a significant chunk of time away from doing what you actually want to be doing.
The second road is riskier. But it works just as well for a lot of people.
You train into the pain.
Not recklessly, but deliberately.
You find where the pain starts, you work up to it, maybe into it, and you monitor what happens.
Not just during the session, but in the 24 hours after.
That second window is the one that matters most.
If your pain doesn’t get any worse during training and settles back to baseline the next day, you’re generally good to keep going.
If that trend holds over time, the pain starts to go.
And that’s where we are really get proper results in terms of full return to performance pain free
But more importantly it sticks, and doesn’t come back.
