Weakness vs Sensitivity (Pain)
On this episode Brodie discusses the confusion runners often make during an injury flare-up. Runners often misinterpret weakness when it fact, it could be just an increase in structure sensitivity.
When progressing a return-to-running program and executing your rehab exercises, it’s not uncommon for a hiccup and mild flare-up to occur. This is often followed with pain & irritation when attempting activity that was once well managed.
This can be interpreted as weakness and without recognising the difference, runners often go through high amount of frustration, anger & confusion.
