Pain as an indicator

Pain and even discomfort is a warning indicator. It is a red flag, alerting you that something needs to be addressed. The last thing you want to do at this point is to push on through the pain, aggravating the physical symptoms further and causing no end of possible damage.

“No pain, no gain” has been a motto in the past and it has no place in this context. Pain is a wake-up call alerting you to take action.

Think about it this way. If a red light appears somewhere on the dashboard of a car, it is showing that something is not working quite right. It may be something straightforward or it may be more serious. You would take it to a garage to get it checked out because in the most serious case, you know you could put your life in danger. But would you instead take the bulb out of the irritating red light so that you could ignore it? Would you think that if the red light is not there then the problem has gone away? I would be surprised if you did. And yet that is what so many people do to their bodies when they come up against physical playing problems.

• Are you aware of any specific physical problem when you play?

• How do you feel about it?

• Are you worried about the consequences of telling someone about it?

• Has your symptom got worse over a period of time?

• Are there any circumstances under which it gets better?
