Weightlifting Injuries
Experiencing Discomfort During Weightlifting?
- Are Lingering Soreness and Aches Limiting Your Ability to Lift Heavy or Push Yourself to the Max?
- Are Certain Lifts Being Avoided Due to Uncomfortable Sensations?
- Are You Considering Seeking Assistance, But Fear That Your Doctor Might Advise You to Cease Weightlifting?
If you responded affirmatively to any of the aforementioned inquiries, you’ve found yourself in the ideal spot.
Numerous Weightlifters and Active Adults Often Encounter Difficulties in Addressing Pain…
- Physicians conduct X-rays and administer injections.
- Traditional physical therapists prescribe band exercises and stretching routines…
- Massage therapists provide temporary relief from pain, yet it frequently resurfaces.
- Rest isn’t a viable solution, and even when you take time off, the pain resurfaces upon resuming weightlifting.
The Reality Is...
- Taking a break doesn't bring about any substantial changes. You might experience temporary relief, but once you resume your activities, the pain persists (I'm sure you've already encountered this!).
- Injections merely provide a temporary fix without addressing the underlying cause of the problem.
- Banded exercises lack the necessary intensity to promote the necessary tissue changes for you to regain your maximum lifting capacity.
- Relying solely on bottles of ibuprofen is not your sole recourse.
At Continuous Motion Physical Therapy, We Specialize in Assisting Active Adults and Athletes in Returning to Their Preferred Workouts and Sports Without Resorting to Surgery, Discontinuing Beloved Activities, or Depending on Pain Medication.
- A family member advises you to attempt a specific stretch.
- A colleague mentions visiting a massage therapist.
- The self-proclaimed "experts" on YouTube propose certain exercises.
- A friend suggests attending a yoga class.
- Meanwhile, the doctor advises you to rest.
The abundance of choices can be overwhelming when it comes to making a decision… What will be the consequences if you make the wrong choice?
Many individuals find themselves trapped in the process of decision-making, unsure about their next course of action. They spend days, weeks, months, and sometimes even years without taking any proactive steps.
Why We Specialize in Working with Weightlifters and Barbell Athletes?

PHASE 2: GAIN CLARITY
Our team will assist you in comprehending the nature of your condition. They will explain the underlying causes behind your injury and guide you on incorporating rehabilitation into your training regimen without having to cease your gym activities.
They will elucidate various loading principles that can effectively target the specific tissues involved in your injury.
PHASE 3: ALLEVIATE PAIN AND BUILD STRENGTH
Collaboratively, you and your therapist will devise a healing plan that concurrently focuses on maintaining strength and fortifying the resilience of your muscles, tendons, and joints.
They will demonstrate how to integrate specific exercises into your warm-up routine and training regimen to proactively prevent these issues from recurring in the future.
At Continuous Motion Physical Therapy, We Have Devised a Three-Step Process to Eliminate Your Pain and Ensure It Doesn’t Resurface.
STEP #1 - ATTENTIVE LISTENING TO YOUR STORY
We understand the frustrations that arise within the medical system. Waiting for weeks or even months for an appointment, only to have a brief consultation with doctors who are rushed and lack the time to address your concerns, leaves you bewildered.
Even many physical therapy clinics operate similarly, lacking attentiveness and moving at a fast pace, with therapists unable to spend sufficient time examining the source of your pain.
That’s why our initial step is to listen to your story.
Having worked extensively with individuals experiencing lifting-related pain, we recognize that each person is unique, with different bodies, histories, and types of pain.
Therefore, our priority is to engage in an open conversation, allowing you ample time to share your story. This enables us to gain a comprehensive understanding of not only your physical condition but also how it impacts your life.
STEP #2 - IDENTIFYING THE ROOT CAUSE OF LIFTING PAIN
Many people receive a diagnosis or medical term to describe their condition. It may have been provided by a doctor, indicated through test results, or discovered online.
You may have been told that your only options were rest, painkillers, or even surgery.
While these approaches may offer temporary relief, they fail to address the underlying cause of the problem.
The origin of lifting pain varies from person to person, as no two individuals experience the same issue caused by the same factors.
At Continuous Motion Physical Therapy, our objective is to pinpoint the original cause of your pain, ensuring not only its resolution but also its long-term prevention.
During your initial assessment, you will learn what is wrong, and the anticipated timeline for recovery, and gain peace of mind that your issue can be resolved naturally.
STEP #3 - ELIMINATING PAIN AND PREVENTING ITS RETURN
This is where the significant transformation occurs. We develop a personalized plan that empowers you to:
…Resume lifting without fear of recurring pain.
…Achieve new personal records.
…Acquire new techniques to enhance your form and strength.
Our most successful clients are those who are motivated and determined to reclaim their active lifestyle, even if they feel stuck at the present moment.
If you would like to learn more about our availability and costs before committing to an appointment, we are happy to provide you with that information.
You don’t have to compromise your beloved active lifestyle due to issues that can be resolved.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cameron Moore
Owner of Continuous Motion Physical Therapy
