Will I need to stop exercising?

Absolutely not. At Movement State, we believe staying moving is critical to ensuring the best opportunity for improvement. After a thorough evaluation we will review your current activities and make decisions that will only aid in your recovery. If modifications, pauses, or the substitution for a similar, less symptomatic movement need to be made to your current routine, we will help you understand why those decisions are impactful with your plan of care with the intention of returning to your desired routine as soon as possible.
