Episode notes
Reintroduction of Movement
- Don't wait for complete symptom resolution before reintroducing important movements.
- Some pain is acceptable, especially in later rehab phases, as long as movement isn't altered.
Weightlifting Challenges
- Weightlifting presents a unique challenge due to its layered complexity.
- Reintroducing snatches, cleans, and jerks requires careful consideration of individual components.
Managing the Red Zone
- Temporarily exclude overly provocative movements (the "red zone") from the initial plan.
- Focus on building consistency and tolerance before gradual reintroduction.
