Pain is complex and developing a plan is about asking the right questions. Pain is often a side effect of poor movement health. I divide movement health into 4 categories and based on an assessment decide where we need to prioritize to get you on path towards achieving better movement health.
1. Rehab Category
Health Assessment:
Injury Focused Assessment: Is there tissue damage?
Total Body Movement Assessment: Are there mobility restrictions causing compensation?
2. Recovery Category
Wellness Assessment:
Nutrition + Body Composition: What are your eating and drinking habits? Are you building lean muscle mass?
Breathing + Sleep Quality: Are you getting sufficient sleep? Are you breathing optimally?
3. Fitness Category
Ability Assessment:
Fundamental Movement: Do you have good enough mobility and stability to safely add an exercise load?
Functional Movement: Can you coordinate fitness movements without pain using only bodyweight?
4. Performance Category
Capacity Assessment:
Coordination + Posture: Do you have enough body control and postural support for athletic training?
Power + Impact: Do you have enough explosive strength and ability to absorb ground impact forces?
