Do You Have a “Bad” Injury?

Do You Have a “Bad” Injury?

As an Athletic Therapist, I encounter a wide range of injuries every day—acute, chronic, sprains, strains, tweaks, niggles, and everything in between. But there’s one category that stands out as particularly challenging: the “bad” injury.

What Defines a “Bad” Injury?

You’ll know you have a bad injury when you start referring to it in conversation: a “bad back,” “bad knee,” “bad shoulder,” or any other body part prefixed by “bad.” Another common symptom of a “bad” injury is when you avoid even trying certain activities of fear that you may not be able to handle it – “I can’t run, I have “bad” knees.” This label often signifies something more profound. It means you’ve accepted this injury as your new normal. Despite seeing multiple health professionals, you’ve resigned yourself to the idea that nothing more can be done, and this is just how life will be. Bad.
