With the ease of the stage 3 Government enforced restrictions now resuming to stage 2, some small gym facilities have been given the green light to reopen. If you find yourself returning back to the gym this week, I feel as though there are a few key things which need to be touched upon in order to make the rest of your week a much smoother experience.

Overcoming chronic pain:
Chronic condition management is a large part of my role as an Exercise Physiologist and contains a wide scope of issues in which people may present to me with. A large portion of my practice involves musculoskeletal issues which are usually ongoing (chronic) in nature. A lot of the time people have been told to “work around it” or to “get a massage to rub it out”. I find that sort of advice quite tiresome as it gives the individual absolutely no guidance on how to fix their issues, and tends to make it seem like the problem is bigger than it actually might be. Within this blog, I am going to go through a step by step approach which will help you understand pain better, and to formulate an action plan to eventually getting better.
