Sometimes, we just need things explained to us at a 4th grade level…
🎣 Ps. This post has nothing to do with Marc Jacobchick PT, DPT looking extremely proud of the big fish he just caught at Reload

Your MRI gives you a snapshot of what is happening inside your body at a given moment in time…
🚫What your MRI won’t tell you is what you did to get here and what you might need to do going forward in order to reach your goals.
✅A good rehab provider / coach should be able to help you with:
1️⃣Understanding your current capacities and your most recent levels of fitness
2️⃣Gradually exposing you to and preparing your body for the demands of your goal physical activities
3️⃣Managing your intensities, volume, and recovery so that you stay within your current capacities and have positive adaptations with your training program
4️⃣Teaching you how to pivot and make modifications to your training when pain or injury arise
5️⃣Keeping you moving during flare-ups and set-backs so that you stay in the game and continue to move forward
🚨Note: An MRI may be valuable if you present with certain red flags that call for its medical necessity
👋🏼If you don’t have any red flags and pain and injury is standing in the way of what you want to do…
🫱🏻🫲🏼Work with a good physical therapist or coach first to come up with a plan to address the things that you CAN control and improve.
