Training safely during ongoing physiotherapy program



“Can i train my upper body, until you allow me to do weight trainings on my lower limbs?”

“As i know your case, I won’t recommend it, Sir. The deconditioning of your lower limbs has happened gradually over a period of time. This means that your core muscles have also deconditioned along the same timeline. If you train upper body, without letting the core fixed, you will end up straining the core further and relay that damage towards the upper trunk, shoulders and neck.”

“So, how long should I wait?”

“Please have patience. We’ll both come to know at an appropriate time, during your physiotherapy program.”

For the best guidance on return to fitness activities appropriately, following pain or deconditioning of core and lower limb muscles, book a clinic, home, or an online appointment with a licensed physiotherapist, at Start Exercises Club, from anywhere in India.
