Seeking Consultation and CustomFitRx for Seniors
At our Physical Therapy clinic, we understand the importance of supporting our clients, especially older adults, in their quest for an active and healthy lifestyle. One common concern we encounter from shoulder patients is the presence of clicking and popping sounds during weight training. Although our client in this scenario experiences no pain or motion limitations, he wisely seeks shoulder consultation to ensure he is not causing any damage. In this blog post, we will discuss the significance of seeking consultation, introduce our CustomFitRx for Seniors program, and highlight the benefits of working with a certified exercise expert for aging adults.
Understanding Shoulder Clicking and Popping:
During weight training or other physical activities, it’s not uncommon to experience clicking and popping sensations in the shoulder. While these sounds may not necessarily indicate a serious problem, it is crucial to investigate their cause to prevent potential injury or complications.
Importance of Seeking Shoulder Consultation:
When you encounter clicking and popping in your shoulder, it is highly recommended to schedule a consultation with a healthcare professional, such as a Physical Therapist. Here’s why:
Movement Assessment: Our Physical Therapist will conduct a movement assessment to evaluate your form and technique during that particular motion that has symptoms. This assessment ensures that you are performing movements correctly, activating the appropriate muscles, and maximizing the efficiency of your workout while minimizing stress on your joints.
Injury Prevention: Identifying the root cause allows you to modify your exercise technique or routine to avoid aggravating the condition and minimize the risk of future injuries. Consulting a Physical Therapist helps you make informed decisions regarding your fitness regimen.
