Return To The Gym Program in Redding
Lifting Injury Physical Therapy
How to eliminate lifting-related pain without medications, surgery, or skipping your workouts! One day, you're on your usual run or doing a set at the gym, and all of a sudden, you feel like a bolt of lightning has hit you. You think, "this hurts a lot, but I'm sure it'll feel better tomorrow." But the pain is still there when you wake up the next morning, and now you can hardly lift anything without feeling pain.
7 Reasons Your Lifting Injury Could Be Lasting Longer
If you're currently living with a lifting injury, here are common reasons it may be persisting:
- You thought it would go away by itself, but it didn't
- The doctor told you to rest and take painkillers, but they didn't help
- Someone told you that everyone hurts when they lift weights and you'll just have to deal with it
- You've been to other doctors or a physical therapist, but nothing worked
- You tried exercises you found online, but they either didn't help or made things worse
- You thought it would be too expensive to get proper treatment
- You tried resting, but the pain returned as soon as you started lifting again

“I hurt my lower back from improper lifting technique and thought my weightlifting days were over. The physical therapist's guidance on proper loading and progressive rehabilitation got me back to lifting with zero pain. Can't recommend Active PT enough for gym-related injuries.”

“I tweaked my back doing CrossFit and was terrified I'd have to stop training. Christian not only fixed the injury but taught me proper movement mechanics so I could get back to the gym stronger and smarter. He really understands athletes and the importance of staying active during recovery.”
