Return From Injury

UpRight Movement can help you to identify and train to reduce the risk of injury BEFORE it happens.

Return from Injury

The most common question in any injury is simple;

WHEN CAN I BE ACTIVE AGAIN!?!

The answer to this question of return to activity is critical because a previous injury is the number one cause of any injury whether it is a concussion, sprain, or pulled muscle. Return to activity refers to the point during the injury recovery process when a person is able to go back to moving, working, or playing at a pre-injury level. Using our qualifying processes, UpRight Movement is a Force Multiplier able to base return to activity on simple, repeatable, objective measures as well as three levels of clearance; Pain, Quality and Quantity.

Everyday Factors for Injury susceptibility:

1. Previous Injury
2. Functional Asymmetries
3. Sub-Optimal Neuromuscular Coordination
4. High non-lean mass to muscle mass ratio, and low strength to bodyweight ratio
5. Poor Judgment

Additional Factors for Pain/Injury susceptibility:

1. MINDSET: Non-Conscious Bias
2. Imbalanced Posture and Inability to access Primitive Postures of Restoration, inclusive with Sit-Rising
3. Overtraining / Overuse – Unsound Programming
4. Imbalance of Phasic to Tonic Musculature Training
5. Imbalance of Flexor to Extensor Musculature Training
6. Imbalance of Bio-Motor Skills: Strength, Power, Speed, Endurance, Flexibility, Coordination, Balance, and Agility.
7. Sub-Standard Developmental Function
8. Sub-Optimal Mobility, Stability and Functional Movement
9. A Structural / Anatomical Dysfunction
10. Poor Technique / Mechanics – Coaching
11. Fatigue / Sub-Optimal Recovery / Lack of Conditioning / Poor Coordination
12. Ground Reaction Forces: Demands Exceed Functional Abilities of Force Absorption, Force Production, and Force Impact Control.
13. Training That Is More Ego Driven
14. Misinformation – Poor Training Choices
15. Soft Tissue Damage
16. High or Increased Life Stress
17. Infections / Acute and Chronic Illnesses
18. Lack of Nutritional Support
19. Shortage of Restorative Sleep
20. Sub-Optimal Autonomic Nervous System Balance/Readiness
    

Symptoms of Inflammation:

1. Pain
2. Heat
3. Redness
4. Swelling
5. Reduction in or loss of function

Coaching Goals:

1. Safety. Monitor technical proficiency, intensity, volume, and regeneration
2. Minimize Asymmetries and Reduce Injury Risk Potential
3. Deliver the Minimal Effective Dose to elicit a positive training response relative to the desired results, and performance demands

UpRight Movement keys to returning from injury:

• Functional testing to ensure reliable, repeatable and objective bio-markers of movement, and performance markers
• An Individual’s Abilities + Expected Movement Demands = Proper Movement Based Planning
• PROPER MOVEMENT RECLAIMS FUNCTION, FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION and FUNCTION OFTEN CORRECTS PAIN
• Intelligent Training + Optimal Recovery + Durability + Adaptability = Resilience
• Individual restorative, movement, and performance training program based on Functional Testing and Autonomic Nervous System Readiness
• There are three clearances that we adhere to prior to advancing you: Pain, Quality and Quantity
• Good Training = Rehab – Good Rehab = Training
• Pivotal Connections and True Motion Fitness team partners can help manage injury progress
• Sport specific speed and skill training
• Nutrition and Regeneration plans
• All Performance Specialists are guided by the UpRight Movement performance principles
