Physical Therapy For Lifting Injuries
How To Eliminate Lifting-Related Pain Without Medications, Surgery, Or Skipping Your Workouts!
One day, you’re on your usual run or doing a set at the gym, and all of a sudden, you feel like a bolt of lightning has hit you. You think, “Man, this hurts a lot, but I’m sure it’ll feel better tomorrow.”
You go to bed later that night, but the pain is still there when you wake up the next morning. It’s been bothering you for a few weeks, and now you can hardly lift anything without feeling pain.
You go to the doctor, who tells you to put ice on it and rest. They also tell you to stop lifting weights because it’s “bad for your body.” They might even give you some anti-inflammatories and painkillers. Even though you don’t want to, you do what they say even though you don’t want to.
Eventually, you start to feel a little better, and you feel like you’re ready to start training and lifting again. Once you start to get back into it, though, the pain comes back all at once, leaving you frustrated and not sure what to do.
This Is the Vicious Cycle That a Lot of People Get Stuck In.
How Are We Different?
If You’re Currently Living With A Lifting Injury, Here’s 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
1. You thought it would go away by itself, but it didn’t.
2. You went to the doctor, who told you to rest and take painkillers. The pills didn’t help, and as soon as they wore off, the pain came back.
3. Someone in your family or circle of friends told you that everyone hurts when they lift weights and that you’ll just have to deal with it.
4. You’ve been to other doctors or a physical therapist, but nothing they said or did seemed to help.
5. You tried exercises you found on YouTube, but they didn’t help or made your pain worse.
6. You thought it would be a good idea to rest because you were in so much pain, but all that did was make you feel even more stiff and tight.
7. You got a few “massages” to try to get rid of the pain, but all they did was make you feel good and relax. They didn’t do anything to fix the pain in the long run.

What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About Active Physical Therapy In Greenville, South Carolina
- Shaundra P.
“Michael is the best! I have worked with Michael for over a year and the progress and growth shows inside and outside the gym. His knowledge and understanding of CrossFit performance allows him to connect and understand challenges and difficulties that we have and he works with us so we can keep going! 1000% recommend him for any PT need.”
- Lindsay S.
“My experience with Michael has fully exceeded my expectations. I originally reached out for shoulder pain and have since worked on knee pain as well. I went from minimal movement without pain to being able to do pushups again. There is a huge benefit and advantage in having a professional explain concepts, movements, and ensure the correct muscle groups are being activated.”
- Luke D.
“Michael helped me come back from double heel “fracture” (they were pulverized). His attention to detail and amazing hands-on care for my feet helped me get the flexibility and comfort and confidence I needed each session to make progress, start walking(!) and more. Now I understand what healthy walking looks like for me and my feet, and I am equipped to keep pushing for 100% recovery. We were doing (safe) box jumps last week, I didn’t expect to be able to do that!”
