Stay Safe in the Gym!

Exercise is crucial for both physical and mental health, but it’s important to be aware of common shoulder injuries that can occur during intense workouts. The shoulder joint’s ball-and-socket design allows for a wide range of motion but also makes it prone to injuries.

Here are three common shoulder injuries to watch out for:

Rotator Cuff Injury: Often caused by repetitive movements like overhead lifting, leading to tendonitis or even tears if ignored.

Weightlifter Shoulder: Stress on the acromioclavicular (AC) joint from exercises like bench press can cause small tears or fractures, leading to inflammation.

Dislocated Shoulder: Occurs when the ball of the shoulder slips out of the socket, often due to strong impacts or over-rotation.

Stay mindful of your technique and listen to your body to prevent these injuries! 💪

Are you training for a 10k, half-marathon or marathon?

Injuries can be a major setback, but with the right preparation and support, you can stay on track!

Here are some tips to help you avoid injuries and make the most of your training:

Warm-Up & Cool Down: Always start with a proper warm-up and end with a cool-down to prepare your muscles and prevent strains.

Strength Training: Incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle endurance and support your joints.

Proper Footwear: Invest in good running shoes that provide the right support and cushioning for your feet and consider biomechanical assessment, some people benefit from orthotics.

Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to any signs of pain or discomfort. Rest and seek professional advice if needed.

At N Shaw Physio, we’re here to support you every step of the way! Our expert physiotherapist can help you with personalised injury prevention strategies and recovery plans.

Stay injury-free.

Enjoy your marathon journey! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️
