How to train around injuries and knee, hip, shoulder or back pain
If you’ve got a painful injury, it doesn’t mean you have to stop training. In fact, done right, training can be part of the solution.
At Body Torque, we work with many people who have injuries or chronic aches and pains, and help them get stronger, move better, and feel confident in their bodies again. Here’s how we approach it:
1. Don’t expect to train through pain, we can train around it
Pain is a signal, not a challenge. We will help you work within your range, build strength in safe zones, and progress without aggravating the issue.
2. Focus on form and control
Technique becomes even more important as we age. We will guide you to make controlled, purposeful movements that protect your joints and build long-term strength.
3. Strengthen what supports you
Weak glutes, tight hips, or poor posture can contribute to niggles such as back or knee pain. We identify imbalances like this example and strengthen the muscles that matter most.
4. Modify without sacrificing progress
Can’t squat deep? No problem. Need to avoid high impact? Totally doable. We adapt exercises to your body, not the other way around.
5. Stay Consistent
The worst thing you can do is stop moving altogether due to an injury. Safe, structured movement helps reduce pain, improve function, and rebuild confidence.
You don’t have to live in pain or fear hurting yourself again.
Let’s build strength and resilience, safely and effectively.
