Sick of hearing your physio say these things all the time and you don't know what they mean?

Here's our top quotes explained!

Motion is lotion

Our bodies produce a product called "lubricin" which as it sounds is a lubricant for our joints, muscles and tendons

The quality and quantity of this product increases with movement! So if you're feeling stiff, get moving to put some lubricant in those joints!

A bit of pain is okay

Pain is a warning mechanism for the body and comes on before there is any danger of injury. When an injury occurs, the warning threshold lowers.

During recovery, we sometimes have to push into low pain ranges to desensitise this warning while performing safe exercise.

The best exercise is the one you'll actually do

You could be given the best program in the world, but if you don't follow it, then it is pointless.

There's no magic exercise - if you aren't going to do a specific exercise, let your physio know so they can change the plan!
