How Fixit Physio Helps You Get Back to the Gym After an Injury
Getting injured is frustrating.
Getting injured when you love training can be even worse.
Suddenly you’re questioning every exercise.
Can you squat?
Can you deadlift?
Can you run?
Can you train legs?
Should you rest?
And the biggest question:
“When can I get back to normal?”
At Fixit Physio, we’ve helped 3,000+ people become pain free over 12 years, and helping active people return to what they enjoy is a huge part of what we do.
You don’t necessarily need to stop training
One of the biggest misconceptions around injury is that your only options are:
Do nothing or push through it.
There is usually a much bigger middle ground.
Depending on your injury, you may be able to continue training while modifying:
Exercise selection
Load
Volume
Range of movement
Training frequency
Intensity
The important part is understanding what your body can currently tolerate.
Your old training level isn’t necessarily your current starting point
Maybe you used to squat 120kg.
That doesn’t necessarily mean you should start there again after six weeks away.
Your body adapts to what you repeatedly expose it to.
If you’ve had time away from certain movements, your capacity may have changed.
That’s not weakness.
It’s simply where you’re starting from.
Rehabilitation should lead somewhere
You shouldn’t spend months doing random exercises without knowing why.
At Fixit, we want your rehabilitation to have a destination.
If your goal is to return to heavy lifting, your rehab needs to progressively prepare you for heavy lifting.
If you want to run, we need to build towards running.
If you want to compete, we need to prepare you for competition.
That’s how we bridge the gap between feeling better and being ready.
We look for the root cause
A painful knee doesn’t necessarily mean the knee is the whole problem.
A painful shoulder doesn’t necessarily mean you simply need to treat the shoulder.
Your strength, training load, movement, previous injuries and current capacity can all form part of the picture.
That’s why we assess the individual rather than simply treating the body part.
