The first principle is learning to move within certain limits. By modifying variables like depth, speed, and equipment, you can find a range of motion that allows you to exercise without aggravating your pain. Physical therapists excel at tailoring movements to suit individual needs, ensuring you can continue training safely.

The second principle is avoiding pain aggravation. Pain is your body's way of signaling that something is wrong. It's crucial to listen to your body and adjust or stop activities that worsen the pain. By avoiding aggravation, you create an environment that supports the healing process and promotes faster recovery.

The third principle is to focus on pain-free movements. Just because you have pain in one area doesn't mean you can't work on other parts of your body. Dr. Brown and Dr. Palermo encourage you to concentrate on pain-free exercises, such as upper body workouts, core exercises, and stretching. This way, you can maintain overall fitness and continue progressing toward your goals.

While these principles provide a foundation for training through pain, it's essential to consult with a physical therapist who can guide you through the process. They can provide personalized modifications and expert guidance based on your specific needs and circumstances.

Don't let pain hinder your progress. Embrace the principles shared by Dr. Brown and Dr. Palermo and continue your fitness journey safely. If you need assistance or professional guidance, reach out to a San Pedro Physical Therapy.
