Whether you\u2019re an old pro at maintaining a fitness routine or you\u2019re just getting started, strength training is a great way to keep your body in shape while building new muscle and endurance. However, strength training requires a delicate balance between pushing your body too far, and not pushing your limits enough\u2014and overexerting yourself can cause injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

We spoke with Dr. Sean McNulty, a physical therapist with Hancock Health, to discuss a few common injuries sustained while strength training, and how you can avoid them.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Let\u2019s Meet Dr. McNulty<\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Dr. McNulty works as a physical therapist for outpatient services<\/a> at Hancock Wellness Center \u2013 McCordsville. He\u2019s been a physical therapist for 16 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u201cMy day can include all forms of orthopedic injuries from back pain to joint replacements, pediatrics, aquatic therapy, neuro rehab for strokes or coordination issues, vestibular rehab for vertigo, and pretty much anything else that walks in the door,\u201d said Dr. McNulty.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

As a physical therapist, Dr. McNulty is primarily concerned with helping people get back to their regular functionality and mobility\u2014or as close to that as possible\u2014after an injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u201cIf an injury is limiting your ability for anything from getting out of a chair to being able to complete a marathon, it’s time to see a physical therapist,\u201d said Dr. McNulty. \u201cNo issue is too big or too small\u2014if it\u2019s hindering you, we want to help get your movement back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

What are Common Strength Injuries?<\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Dr. McNulty warned that several common injuries sustained during strength training exercises stem from a person overextending themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u201cMuscle strains, tendonitis, and loss of mobility from injury are all common issues people might face if they train improperly,\u201d said Dr. McNulty. \u201cThese can all be avoided with proper training.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Dr. McNulty added that proper warm-ups help prepare the body for the rigors of strength training, which reduces the likelihood of injury. Additionally, using the appropriate weights for your strength level also helps avoid injury; many fitness enthusiasts will use weights that are too heavy, and will strain themselves from the effort.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u201cKnowing your limits is just as important, if not more so, as trying to surpass them,\u201d Dr. McNulty said. \u201cIt\u2019s great to build strength and endurance, but doing too much too soon can lead to injury.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

If you\u2019re dealing with an injury that limits your physical mobility, you can schedule an evaluation to have a professional determine if outpatient physical therapy is right for you. You can call Hancock Health\u2019s rehabilitation services department<\/a> at (317) 468-4472.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
