Has keeping your New Year’s Resolution  given you Back Pain 
or Perhaps your back pain is holding you back from working out
or Maybe you have already given up on your New Year’s Resolution because of Back Pain

If you answered yes to any of the above statements then you are not alone! Research shows that 80% of people break their New Year’s Resolution and the Number 1 most popular New Year’s Resolution people make is Exercise to get in shape! For many people, the most frustrating part of failing their New Year’s Resolution to get fit, is the physical inability to do it due to pain. Back pain being the most common cause of pain for many people.

Luckily, here at My Favourite Physio, our Expert Physiotherapists are Experts at helping people overcome their Back Pain to get back to the gym and achieve their New Year’s Resolution to exercise to get in shape!

Here are the 3 Common Mistakes, people make when they are in the gym trying to get in shape for the New Year:

1. Going to the Gym without a personalised training program.
Especially when you have existing injuries, going back to the gym to get in shape requires a tailored individualised program to ensure that you are performing the right exercise with the right form to prevent injuries.

2. Not stopping when they are in pain, thinking, “No Pain, No Gain.”
Most people mistake pain as an indication of a good workout. This is incorrect, the end result of a good workout is feeling tired from exercising but not pain. Post exercise soreness is not the same as post exercise pain and not being able to move. 

3. Leaving injury niggles until it is too late. 
Most people think that the niggling pain in their backs will go away, however, they soon find that they are unable to get up off the bed. Instead, when you feel a sharp pain because you pulled a muscle in your back at the gym, see an Expert Physiotherapist as soon as possible, so we can help you get on top of your Back Pain and get you back exercising pain free at the gym!
