Common Misconceptions in Injury Rehabilitation
The conversation delves into the topic of injury assessment and treatment. We discuss our experiences with helping clients overcome pain and achieve better movement. We question the traditional approach of prescribing corrective exercises, advocating instead for providing the nervous system with the sensory input it needs to restore function. Additionally, we argue that once the nervous system is optimized, individuals can resume normal workouts without worrying about specific corrective exercises. We stress the importance of challenging the body and allowing it to integrate the new inputs.CONNECT: 🎥YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrengthCoachNetwork/featured📱Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strengthcoachnetwork🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/StrCoachNetwork🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/coach_j_lima📷Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strength_coach_network/📷Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach.j.lima/🌎Site: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/📝Blog: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/blog/🏫Education Course: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/fundamentals🛒 Shop Gear: https://my-store-cd9833.creator-spring.com/___From our sponsor TeamBuildr 🌎Site:https://www.teambuildr.com/enTeamBuildr is a platform for any coach in any setting.
