Common Gym Injuries and How to Avoid Them

Shoulders, lower backs and elbows — the three complaints that fill a sports physio clinic.

Progression, not perfection

Most gym injuries are load spikes rather than bad technique. Add weight in smaller increments.

Programme balance

Pulling volume should at least match pressing volume for healthy shoulders.

Deload weeks

A planned lighter week every 4–6 weeks prevents most overuse complaints.
