Customisation in Sports Injury Rehabilitation and Weight Loss: Does It Really Make Difference?

The one-fits-all concept has recently become more common than ever.

Simply because it is the easier option.

Well, let’s face it; it is definitely easier to buy a t-shirt when the tag says “one-size”.

This concept, however, does not apply to rehabilitation plans.

Sometimes, when you decide to improve your eating habits, put an end to your sedentary lifestyle or recover after an injury, you search online for the optimum injury rehabilitation London and as you see a countless number of plans, you start wondering:

  • Are those diet plans available online good for me?
  • Can they be effective in reducing my weight?
  • Are those exercises safe for me to do at home?
  • Are all those exercises suitable for my sports injury rehabilitation London training?

Although these plans might be shared by experts and professionals, the same experts keep stressing on the importance of customised rehabilitation programmes.

  • Still wondering how customisation can completely change your rehabilitation experience?
  • And how it can give you the optimum athletic injuries and rehabilitation programme that will help you recover and enjoy life being fit again?

Well, here are the reasons why…

athletic injuries and rehabilitation

1- It is Holistic

You might be wondering, why your expert personal trainer is assessing the arches of your feet while you are complaining from back or even shoulder pain!

In fact, an expert personal trainer deals with your body as one unit.

This helps him understand the nature and origin of your problems.

Sometimes, the symptoms are deceiving; you might be complaining of back pain, you receive back pain treatment for months and your pain does not go away.

Or, it temporary goes away and comes back even worse than before.

When this is the case, you need to have a holistic image of your problem.

In other words, you need to see the big picture.

Before setting off on your athletic injuries and rehabilitation journey, you need to understand that your back pain can be caused by a local problem in your back itself, such as:

Or it can be caused by something completely different, For example:

  • A flat or a pronated foot,
  • Leg length discrepancy,
  • Pelvic hypomobility,
  • Knee injury or hip problem or even
  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction. [2], [1]

 

This is why it is crucial to get thoroughly assessed in order to get your optimal sports injury rehabilitation London.

In fact, comprehensive assessment is the only way to reveal the real cause of your pain.

2- It is Safer

  • Have you ever heard of someone who had gotten worse after following a diet plan that was not right for them?
  • Or have you ever seen a person whose injury had gotten worse while doing the wrong exercise?
  • What about a person whose injury gets better with knee or back rehab, and then recurs?

The truth is, not everything you see over the internet or hear from your close friends can safely apply to your knee, shoulder, back injury or any health condition you might be complaining from.

Even if the injury or health problem seems similar to you.

Here are some examples:

  • Same Problem, Different Solutions

Imagine two people complaining of an almost-similar shoulder pain.

The first one was diagnosed with shoulder instability and the second with adhesive capsulitis (i.e., frozen shoulder: inflammation of the shoulder’s capsule leading to adhesions and restricted range of movement).

After being thoroughly assessed, the person with frozen shoulder was given some stretching exercises in order to restore the shoulder’s range of movement as a vital part of the shoulder rehab programme. [3]

These exercises included rotating and abducting the arm (moving the arm away from the body) as an effective movement to release adhesions and increase the joint mobility. [3]

Well, although these exercises dramatically improve the shoulder range in a frozen shoulder [3], they not only are ineffective for someone with shoulder instability, but also can worsen the pain if done at the wrong phase of rehab. [4]

In addition, this combined movements in particular may lead to dislocation in an unstable shoulder. [4]

  • This is the reason why I agree to work only with clients who dedicate time to start with a comprehensive assessment in which I get to understand their exercise, nutrition and medical history as an important part of the rehab programme.
  • On the other hand, I never agree to train clients who would not prioritise the rehab and dedicate time for the assessment because lack of proper assessment majorly impacts the results of the rehab.

As a final result, I end up setting a customised exercise plan that is both safe and effective for your very unique case whether you will train face to face or online.

Same Diet, Different Bodies

  • Same Diet, Different Bodies

Nutrition plays an important role in keeping your body functioning. [5]

  • Did you know that research revealed that about 80% of all cardiovascular disease, 90% of all type 2 diabetes and 30% of all cancer could be prevented by eating a healthy diet and modifying your lifestyle? [5]

 However, every body needs its own specific amount of:

  • Proteins,
  • Carbs,
  • Fat,
  • Vitamins,
  • Minerals,
  • Phytochemicals
  • Enzymes and
  • Fibre
  • Liquids

These nutritional elements help you stay healthy based on body weight, composition, gender and level of activity. [5]

Research shows that if you follow a nutrition diet plan that is not suitable for you, your body can end up losing some of its very important nutrients (e.g., vitamins and minerals). [5]

This study clearly shows that unsuitable nutrition diet plans can also result in:

  • Lower core strength,
  • Slower problem-solving ability
  • Slower muscle response time, and
  • Less alertness [5]

So, if a diet works for your friend, it might not work or might not be optimum for you.

This is why it is always a better choice to get your diet plan tailored for your own body requirements.

3- It is Goal-specific

You are not like anyone else!

People are different in their body built, genetics, habits and mindsets.

  • According to research: even identical twins show amazing differences when it comes to how their bodies and minds develop by the passage of time. [6]

In terms of skills for instance, one of the twins might be a skilled football player, while having a bad handwriting.

While the other might be an artist who cannot even kick a ball!

  • When it comes to physiology, your body needs specific and unique solutions for your very personal health problems. [7]
  • In addition, you have very different expectations and goals that you would like to see come true at the end of your rehab.

Here is an example…

Two friends have problems climbing up and down the stairs for two different reasons.

The first one complains from a painful knee due to patellofemoral syndrome (increased friction between thigh bone and the kneecap).

The other has a stiff knee and weak knee muscles after spending 2 months in a plaster cast.

See, although both have the same complaint, they do not share the cause  – nor the goal – this is why the ACL, PCL, meniscus and knee injury rehab programmes will be totally different.

In the first case, the knee rehabilitation programme must focus on reducing pain and restoring the position of the kneecap while avoiding exercises like lunges and squatting. [8]

On the other hand, in the second case, there must be a deep focus on strengthening weak muscles and restoring muscle strength, so lunges and squatting can be two main exercises to do.

  • In a nut shell, research show that it is important to create a rehab programme that is tailored to reach your desired goals through the shortest path. [7]

On the contrary, following an injury rehabilitation programme that is not customised for you is just like shooting in the dark and massively increase your reinjury risks!

4- Faster Results

Who wants to follow the same rehabilitation plan for a lifetime?

NOBODY!

Every one wants to see their goals and dreams coming true before their eyes in no time.

  • But, is it possible to take a shortcut to your health and fitness goals?

The answer is: YES!

You WILL shorten your rehab duration if you have a clear goal with specific, evidence-based goal-oriented steps.

Clearly identifying the problems and their solutions is one vital factor that shortens your rehabilitation journey and give you fast, yet satisfying results.

Setting realistic goals and assigning a clear timeline is one important step in designing a successful rehab programme.

5- Keeps You on Track

How many times have you stopped following a diet after a short while because it was too hard, or too strict for you?

Have you ever struggled to exercise on regular basis?

In fact, adopting a healthy lifestyle, losing weight or getting back to normal after an injury must not be as difficult as everyone thinks it is.

  • If you want to stay committed and motivated throughout your rehab plan and for as long as it takes, all you need is a programme tailored for you.

This is because a customised rehabilitation programme focuses on:

  • Effectiveness:

There are too many exercises and diet plans over there.

Some of them are wrong for you, and some others might be the right ones but not the most effective for your:

  • body type,
  • composition,
  • risks,
  • health issues and
  • [9],[7]

Customisation not only does help you follow the right plan, but also the most effective one which gives you fast results.

The result, indeed, is one thing that can keep you engaged and motivated.

  • Your Personal Goals

There are generalised goals that may apply to anyone.

For example, too many people need to lose weight.

You, on the other hand, might be aiming at losing fat and building muscles.

This is why a Fad diet that everyone follows to lose weight might not be satisfactory to you as you watch your muscle mass decrease.

And….

This is when you decide to quit.

Customisation, however, considers your very personal goals instead of generalised goals, and, thus, helps you keep motivated as you watch your goals being achieved just the way you dreamed!

Tired of working hard and achieving goals that were not yours in the first place?

Time to get your own personalised rehab programme based on an expert’s assessment of your very own goals.

  • Your Likes and Dislikes.

People quit when they do things they don’t like.

  • For example, this research shows that you may quit a nutrition diet plan after a short while because it lacks flexibility and offers you a rigid menu instead. [9]

And, of course, you keep craving delicious off-the-menu food.

Or you may quit exercising when the training session is boring, or the exercise you are doing is not your favorite.

  • Customisation, however, can be the answer because it helps you include what you like and exclude what you dislike, all in one effective programme.

In other words, if you live in greater London, as an elite personal trainer London based, I will tailor your exercise sessions and include only the exercises that will keep you motivated.

I will also design a customised nutrition plan that includes the food you like, and still get you to lose weight!

Good news, right?

Long-term benefits

6- Long-term benefits

At some points of our lives, we make this important decision to live a healthier life, exercise regularly, quit disempowering habits and adopt new healthier ones instead.

However, these healthy habits never last for long.

You might feel motivated for a while and, soon afterwards, your motivation fades away.

This is not only you – by the way –, there is a countless number of people who buy a gym membership, go to the gym once or twice, then stop going.

The reason why is not only lack of motivation, but also:

  • The sudden change
  • Forcing completely new habits into your routine
  • Lack of support
  • The pleasure we connect to our bad habits
  • Lack of 121 initial coaching to help you understand your reasons – “The Why”
  • Picking up new habits that are not suitable for you. [10]

So, how does customisation help you on the long run?

Customising your new programme means that as an elite personal trainer London based I will design a new routine that is similar to but healthier than the ones you are used to.

I will take into consideration your personality, likes, dislikes, daily routine, the nature of your work and will plan your programme so that it easily fits in your schedule.

This way is the only way you can stick to your new healthy way of living for a lifetime.

7- Less Costly!

“Hiring an elite personal trainer will cost me a fortune!” said a friend of mine who needed to follow a shoulder rehab programme.

It is true that hiring an expert personal trainer can cost you a little more than other options.

However, the amount you pay for a personal trainer saves you anxiety, stress, money, and much more than money – this investment will also make you stronger faster.

Here is why it is worth it:

  • Time Saving

Hiring an expert personal trainer will save you time and money because it is:

  • customised,
  • specific and
  • very effective.

For instance, it can take you too long and cost you a lot to lose weight and build muscles if you keep trying different diets.

Or if you lose weight using a poor nutritional choice like Atkins diet and other tens of diets out there.

Then, your health will take a deep.

At the same time, an expert can completely and help you effectively transform your body in 6 months for the same overall amount you might have spent over years of trying.

No matter whether you are looking for the best lower back rehab London, hip pain, ankle knee or shoulder rehab programme or even need to lose weight and transform your body.

Jazz Alessi will customise  your rehab programme based on your very personal goals.

  • No complications

If you have a health problem, and you neglect it, or pick a cheaper, but non-customised rehab programme, you will be putting yourself at risk for complications.

For example, if you neglect your knee pain and procrastinate on following a tailored for your needs knee injury rehab programme, it might progress to advanced arthritis, and might require knee replacement at the end.

Similarly,

If you follow the wrong back rehab or knee injury rehab programme and do the wrong exercises, your herniated disc might get worse and also require you having a risky spine surgery.

So, why not hire an elite personal trainer who is a long term proven expert on how to rehabilitate a knee injury and avoid complications?

It is definitely worth it!
