Pain during lifting
Hi my name's Jason I lift and do martial arts, I'm curious about an issue that I've been researching. It seems like in the lifting space and in the recreational athlete space in general, there's a lot of people that have lingering injuries or nagging pain that prevents them from doing a certain type of exercise or certain movements in a sport that they actively participate in, but these people don't seek professional help.
Basically, what I'm trying to find out is why people in these spaces aren't seeing professionals, what they are doing instead, what problems they're facing, and what they've tried. I myself and my friends have had similar things like knee, shoulder, back pain. I think it's very common for people in the space to just want to try to fix it themselves or just let it linger, so curious to hear.
