As summer approaches, many people increase their running, gym sessions and outdoor training.

The problem is that your body still needs time to adapt to a higher workload.
Sudden increases in training intensity, distance or frequency can place more demand on muscles and joints than they are ready for.

Build gradually, recover properly and pay attention to recurring discomfort.
If pain is limiting your training, book a physiotherapy assessment in Ballito.

You rest. It feels better. You return to training. The pain comes back.

This cycle is common when symptoms settle but the factors contributing to the problem have not been fully addressed.

Rehabilitation may involve rebuilding strength, mobility, movement control and tolerance to activity rather than simply waiting until the pain disappears.

If the same pain keeps returning, it may be time for a proper assessment. Contact Michelle van Dyk Physiotherapy in Ballito - 060 505 3800

Shoulder pain after padel is not always just a case of “overdoing it”.

Strength, mobility, technique, training load and previous injuries can all influence how your shoulder responds to repetitive movement.

If shoulder pain keeps returning during or after padel, understanding the cause is more useful than simply waiting for it to settle.

Experiencing recurring shoulder pain? Book a physiotherapy assessment in Ballito.

Not every ache during exercise means you need to stop, but persistent or increasing pain should not simply be ignored.

Pain that keeps returning, changes the way you move or leaves you noticeably sore afterwards may be a sign that something needs to be assessed.

A physiotherapy assessment can help identify what may be contributing to your symptoms and guide you on whether to continue, modify or temporarily reduce activity.

Knee pain that only appears after a run can still be worth paying attention to.

Recurring discomfort may be linked to changes in training load, strength, movement patterns or a previous injury. The earlier you understand what may be contributing to it, the easier it is to make informed decisions about your training.

If knee pain keeps returning after your runs, book a physiotherapy assessment with Michelle van Dyk Physiotherapy in Ballito.

Is it normal soreness or an injury?

Post-exercise muscle soreness usually develops gradually and improves within a few days. Sharp pain, significant swelling, weakness, reduced movement or discomfort that continues to worsen may require professional assessment.

If pain repeatedly returns whenever you exercise, your body may be signalling that something needs attention.

Are you currently waiting for a pain to sort itself out?

Back pain for three months is not just a bad week.

Persistent back or neck pain can gradually affect your sleep, work, movement and confidence. Avoiding activity completely may also make everyday tasks feel more difficult over time.

Early, structured rehabilitation can help you understand your condition, manage your pain and work towards restoring normal function.

Michelle van Dyk Physiotherapy offers the Workability Back and Neck Assistance Programme, subject to assessment, medical-aid participation and authorisation.

How long have you been adjusting your life around back pain?

Falling is not simply part of getting older.

Reduced strength, changes in balance and fear of movement may increase the risk of falling. Avoiding activity because you feel unsteady can lead to further weakness and reduced confidence.

Physiotherapy can assess balance, mobility and functional movement before creating a safe rehabilitation programme suited to the individual.

Has fear of falling changed the way you or someone you love moves?

Surgery repairs the structure. Rehabilitation restores the function.
Post-operative physiotherapy supports your recovery by helping you safely rebuild movement, mobility, strength and confidence.

Your rehabilitation plan should be guided by your procedure, healing stage and personal goals so that progress is controlled and appropriate for your body.

Preparing for surgery or already recovering? Ask when physiotherapy should form part of your recovery plan.
