Even though I can't prescribe treatment for your aches and pains (technically only a doctor can do that), I can ease some of your discomfort by showing you some proper treatments.

As a rule of thumb, the safest advice I can give you when you have overexerted yourself working out is the RICE system which consists of resting the injury, applying ice, and using compression and elevation in order to minimize swelling and inflammation.

Sometimes however, we also need to be able to recognize when we should be seeking the help of a more qualified healthcare professional. And in order to make this a lot easier for you, I have decided to list some of the more common aches and pains I have heard my clients complain about, as well as information on what could possibly be causing them and what you should be doing in regards to them.

I believe that if the following information I am providing can even assist one of you in determining what it is that you should be doing in regards to a certain ache or pain then the time I've spent putting this together has been well worth it.

Inner Knee Pain:

What it could possibly be:

1. An inner (medial) collateral strain
2. An inner meniscus tear or strain
3. Arthritis of the medial compartment
4. An inner ligament strain
5. Tendonitis or a strain of the pes anserinis
6. A basic bone bruise
7. A Referral pain originating from you back, hip, or pelvis

What to do about it:

1. Apply the RICE system or rest, ice, compression, And elevation.
2. No exercise that causes the pain
3. Work on balance as well as lower extremity flexibility Exercises.

When to Seek Other Professional Health Care:

1. If there was an obvious trauma to the knee
2. If the pain persists
3. If the Knee experiences swelling
4. If the Knee is unable to function

Low Back Pain:

What it could possibly be:

1. A disc strain or herniation
2. A referral pain originating from another internal organ
3. A muscle strain
4. A ligament strain
5. Sacro-iliac dysfunction
6. A facet joint irritation
7. Osteoarthritis
8. A fracture

What to do about it:

1. Determine if there is a pattern of pain and avoid any aggravating activities.
2. Work on your bodies core stability, including your hips and back muscles.
3. Practice and achieve optimal flexibility of the back and hip muscles.
4. Observe your habitual movement patterns and correct if Necessary. Ex. Lifting and Sitting Postures.

When to seek other professional healthcare:

1. immediately if you experience a change in your bladder or bowel control.
2. If there is numbness or tingling present, either in your back or in any of your limbs.
3. If the pain is acute or continues to get worse.
4. If the pain persists
5. If you have lost some of your spines range of motion (ROM).
