You’re in pain, you’re told to mobilize to address the pain, but the mobilization is also painful. wtf?⁠
⁠
Step back. Here are two simple ways to determine if you are mobilizing at an appropriate level, and if it is safe to proceed:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Can you take a full breath?⁠
2️⃣ Do you have control, ie, can you contract?⁠
⁠
If you answer no, you’re probably under too much pressure. Back off, use a lower weight, or switch it up.⁠
