Strength Training and Injuries: Prevention and Recovery
Strength training is becoming increasingly popular among both dedicated athletes and recreational gym-goers. While it’s an excellent way to build muscle, improve stability, and boost overall fitness, injuries can occur due to overuse, poor technique, or progressing too quickly. At Vondelfysio, we’re here to help you not only recover from fitness-related injuries but also to train smarter and stay injury-free.
Common strength training injuries
Lifting weights comes with incredible benefits, but incorrect posture, skipping warm-ups, or using excessive weights can lead to injuries. Some of the most common issues include shoulder pain, lower back discomfort, knee problems, and wrist injuries. Repetitive strain can also cause tendonitis and muscle strains. At Vondelfysio, we analyze your movement patterns and training routine to identify the root cause of your injury and create a personalized recovery plan.
Proper strength training isn’t just about lifting heavier—it’s about lifting smarter. A well-structured strength program can improve performance and significantly reduce the risk of injuries. For example, runners can benefit from strength training to reduce joint stress and improve stability, lowering their chances of running-related injuries. We guide you through the right exercises, focusing on mobility, stability, and proper execution.
