Forum: Injury Recovery And Prevention

I was discussing squat form and I squatted down (ass to grass, with no weight, just for demonstration) and externally rotated my hip/knee. My left lower back twinged. I believe my core was not tight and my spine was not in neutral position. Now its a dull pain and i have to stay extended. ...

Let’s say you lay down flat on the floor. Both arms out to your sides and elbows bent at 90 degrees palms facing up My left hand is about four inches of the floor will not touch, right hand is normal...back of right hand is resting on floor. Upper arm is laying flat on floor on both sides....

I wanted to follow up on a thread I made here a few weeks ago under another account but it's gone. And I can't remember my old account. Anyway I hurt my lower back doing squats (I mistakenly thought it was weighted leg raises) and it didn't prevent me from squatting but it did prevent me from...

Hey guys, So for the last few weeks or so I have been waking up with pain in my shoulder blade area, extending a bit up and down the right side of my back. It gets better throughout the day, but its still pretty achy. I don't know if this is pain related to how I'm sleeping. It very well could...

Hi guys, 25 years old, i'm not all that new to lifting weights but i've never been strong. Have had multiple injuries in the past, all shoulder related due to bad pull up form, lack of flexibility and from what i recently found out, hyper flexibility as well in some spots, which ends up in ****ed...

Hello, I'm hoping somebody here has experienced the same thing and might help me, as I'm pretty desperate by this point! Lots and lots of $ spent on PT, docs without any result :( This occured prior to NO workout at all, I had been sedentary for a month at that point without any strenuous...

As the title says, what's the longest you've been forced to stop training, what was the injury and how did you cope with the strength and muscle loss? When i was 26 (5 years ago) i had to stop completely for almost two years after eight years of hard work because of a lumbar disc bulge and...

For years now since I started working out I had this 'issue' and I couldn't find much information online on how to treat this. From what I found out this may be caused by the butt wink I have, the snapping also occurs when the butt starts to wink at about 70 degrees for me. It's not severe...

Hi all, I broke my wrist in July 2020 and at the time despite a lot of pain and being unable to do a push up, I brushed it off as being a bad sprain. However, in September I got it scanned and discovered that I had a scaphoid fracture. Since then I subsequently underwent surgery whereby a screw...

A lot of people have probably dealt with muscle knots before. To get rid of muscle knots the advice usually is to foam roll it and see a physio and/or chiro. While that is of course good, we hardly ever hear about whether it's a good or a bad idea to workout despite having muscle knots. I tend to...

Hey guys, I was diagnosed with a SLAP tear in my right shoulder after an MRI scan in April 2020. I went to get get my shoulder checked out because I had a sharp pain in the middle of my shoulder when I did push exercises. The diagnosis from the MRI scan read "suspicion of SLAP tear". I went to...
