It can often seem counterproductive, but a lot of musculoskeletal pain is caused by inactivity. Rest and medication is no doubt important, but weak and tight muscles struggle to provide stability to the joints they’re attached to, and the result can often be inflamed, swollen, and painful joints.

Whether it’s minor pain that is causing irritations during or after activities such as squash, skiing, or even simply training at the gym, or whether it’s something more traumatic such as piriformis syndrome, sciatica, or bursitis of a particular joint – reincorporating controlled movement and strength training can often provide both short term relief and long term healing of these conditions.

Depending on the severity of your issue, we’ll recommend both the frequency of your training with one of our personal trainers, and the likely timescale for which we believe the desired outcome will be achieved. Typically, for minor conditions, training once a week for 3 months can often resolve many musculoskeletal conditions. For more serious conditions, we may recommend training twice or three times a week.

As with all our programmes, you’ll work on a 1:1 basis with a personal trainer, at your chosen location being either our private studio in St Albans City centre, or at BodyLimits Gym in Sandridge. We’ll set your weekly schedule at a time that works for you.
