Episode 19: How to Train Around Injuries
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dealing with nagging pain or an injury doesn’t mean you have to stop training altogether. In fact, completely shutting things down is often what sets people back the most.
In this episode of The Performance Compass podcast, coach Decker breaks down a simple 3-step framework to help you keep training safely while working around injuries. You’ll learn how to reduce load to manage stress on the body, adjust exercise variations to find pain-free movements, and modify range of motion so you can still train effectively without making things worse.
The goal is simple: keep you moving, keep you progressing, and help you train in a way that supports long-term health instead of setting you back.
