Bouncing back from an injury
Bouncing back from an injury is often extremely challenging, mentally and physically. “When will I feel normal again?,” “When will I be able to get back on the field/hit the gym again?,” are questions we get all of the time. Unfortunately, the answer is often vague as it varies amongst each individual depending on several factors such as injury, current health status, fitness level, etc. Establishing a close work ethic with your physical therapist/assistant, can better your chances of returning to your pre-injury status.
Once physical therapy comes to an end, whether it be from exhausting your insurance or graduating from PT, the next question is “now what?” Although it can be easy to neglect exercise, especially with work and busy life schedules, continuing with post-therapy exercises can aid in your recovery and further prevent you from having to return to PT. Regardless if you are new to exercise or well versed in the fitness arena, transitioning from physical therapy to the playing field or back to the gym can often times feel intimidating. Many come across the problem of not knowing where to start or how to progress, and will to turn to personal training. While this can seem like a good idea, it is imperative to find a trainer who understands your condition and doesn’t put you at further risk for reinjury.
Here at CAO, we eliminate the guess work. Not only do we strive to bridge the gap between PT and fitness/wellness, we also make it a priority to prevent reinjury so that we do not hinder your progress. Our certified personal trainers provide continuity of care by maintaining open communication with the treating therapist(s) to create and progress transitional rehabilitation programs. Each program is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual to optimize their recovery and achieve their desired goals.
