A sudden, sharp pain appeared in his left knee. He just managed to save himself from falling off the treadmill, at the gym.
Except for playing simple gully cricket during his school age, he was a never athletic since childhood. At the age of 32 years, he suddenly thought of brushing off that stigma of not following any fitness routine.
At the gym, he chose to try out things by himself. Afterall, all the equipments there seemed to be well caliberated, with more or less predictable methods of using them.
He started four weeks back. Since second week onwards, today was the third near miss incidence of its kind.
In the previous two episodes, he experienced a sudden pain appearing in his left shoulder, while doing dumb bells and an instantly appearing pain in his right buttock, while doing squatting exercises.
Now, after today’s episode his confidence and willingness to continue with his preventive fitness routines, have started dwindling.
“It’s not cup of my tea.”, he said to his physiotherapist, whom he consulted for the ongoing discomfort in his left knee.
“It happens. Learning how to do it properly is an ideal decision, not quitting your goal to stay fit.”, said the physiotherapist.
“But i keep injuring myself. I think, I can only walk, for safely getting fit.”
“If things go right, then would you like to continue on your fitness routines?”
“Yes, but I do not understand, how to do it. I’m more fit than required for walking, but may be not as much required for gymming activities.”
“Yes, you are thinking right. You simply need to undergo a pre-fitness regime, to prepare your body and mind to safely undertake and proceed with gym level exercises and activities.”
“What does that mean?”
“You muscle lengths, their flexibilities, your postural efficiencies, your ability to tolerate tiredness after exercises and all such parameters must be reconditioned, to make your body ready for gym level trainings. Such reconditioning regimes are designed and implemented at safe effort and exertion limits of any person.”
“So, how is it done?”
“A licensed physiotherapist would assess you and conclude needful reconditioning exercise designs. The timeline, your physiotherapist’s role and above all, your role in achieving the therapeutic goals are discretly concluded. Then you can simply commit to the required schedule of sessions with your physiotherapist and start.”
“Okay, so let’s go for it then!”
The physiotherapist smiled and said,”We’ll have to wait for a few days. We need your knee to be better, before we start.”
“Okay, got it. Looking forward to it then. Thank you.”
