However, when it comes to pain specifically, it can dampen muscle recruitment of the posterior chain of the lower extremities, depending how much the brain goes into protection, affecting the ability to propel forward. Muscle imbalances can create the same issues and susceptibility to injury as we discussed with range of motion in terms of compensation. Those deadlines at work or the fight with your partner all lower the threshold for pain and make it more difficult to overcome. While the physiological components of inflammation and nociception are part of the pain experience, there are also the other stressors of life that are all poured into the same bucket and affect the subsystem. There is an aspect of this that is developing the mindset to adapt but, it is also about teasing out the psycho-emotional aspects of pain. Our bodies start to compensate for a lack of range in one area with increased mobility in another and can throw the system out of sync. When our range of motion is reduced, we do not have optimal access to strength and are at greater risk of injury or re-injury. As motor neurons do not function at the same level with scar tissue, you want to maintain that muscle recruitment and brain-body interface, with a load that is appropriate for the phase of rehab. We want to make sure that those muscle fibres are aligning for optimal function moving forward. What we mean by this is maintaining tissue health post-injury or excessive usage (overtraining) in lining up the sarcomeres. In minimizing our risk of pain and injury and maximizing our recovery and performance, there are a few areas of training and rehabilitation to consider. The presence of pain or injury disrupts that optimal state however, there are other factors that can knock us off our game and likewise affect that sub-threshold of pain.
When we think about performance, we are able to be at our best when we are in the flow state. With the notion of 'no pain, no gain', pain is almost glorified as a rite of passage or necessity in performance, but this is seldom the case. Mehran Tabrizi, Chiropractor, Cambridge Club As a member of Flowstate, you will no longer need to spend money or time at multiple places to remain physically and mentally balanced./ Categories: Health & Wellness, Lifestyle Pain Kills Performance Healthy View Our programming seamlessly integrates both soft and hard techniques. Conventional fitness programs incorporate either hard practices (think HIIT or strength training) or soft practices (think yoga or meditation), but few combine them both.
Furthermore, by focusing on movement skills that are neither too easy nor too difficult, we can use training as a means to access flow (see definition from positive psychology above).Īt Flowstate we place a high value on balance. Unfortunately, this is ineffective and ultimately leads to pain, injury, and burnout.
It pursues capacity in the hope movement quality will naturally follow. Conventional training tries to reverse engineer this equation. By practicing the skills of natural, human movement we will see an increase in work capacity as a direct result. Our programming brings a skill-based approach to exercise.
