WORKING AROUND INJURIES


Injuries and niggles are often caused by doing a little too
much and overreaching a little too far in a session (a spike
in training intensity), or doing a little too much of the same
thing causing repetitive strain injuries (a spike in frequency /
volume) – the key is to avoid sudden spikes.

Many injuries can be avoided by applying the principle of


progressive overload – motivated individuals often have to
have the discipline to NOT do that extra set. However, it’s
unrealistic to believe niggles and injuries can be eradicated
entirely, especially when the aim is elite performance.

Rule 1 when it comes to injuries: Don’t risk making it


worse. If you are not qualified to diagnose the issue, refer to
a doctor or physical therapist as there might be exercises
that are initially contraindicated.

From there, consider the TAB Method explained in the next


slide.

THE TAB METHOD


The TAB Method:

• Take away aggravators – initially get rid of the


things that make the injury feel worse during
exercise, hours after and the next day (if you keep
picking a scab, it will never heal).

• Add in exercises that feel good – load the tissues,


increase circulation and promote healing / add in
mobility work to reduce excessive tension.

• Build resilience to the aggravators – injury


prevention 101 is build the strength to
accommodate the stress. Once initial healing has
taken place, we need to progressively build
resilience in the tissues.
