Finding the sweet spot of activity for a patient in pain can be challenging but use these tips to help hone in on it with your patients or training clients.
We need to decrease intensity, load, or duration of activity if we have pain any of these three instances:
1. sharp, shooting, stabbing, nerve like pain that doesn't improve quickly with warmup
2. spike in pain an hour or two after activity after endorphins wear off
3. hangover pain the morning after activity
We also discuss communication strategy for chronic pain patients afraid to move as well as return to running interval training protocol.
