Fitness Starts Here: How to Begin When You’re in Pain

At EVO, we believe fitness is the foundation of real healthcare.

It helps you move better, feel stronger, and live a more active, pain-free life. But getting started isn’t always easy—especially when you’re dealing with pain or injury.

If you’ve tried programs before that didn’t help…

If you’re frustrated or unsure what to do next…

You’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Here’s how we help you find the right starting point and build a path forward.

Step 1: A Comprehensive Evaluation

We don’t start with workouts—we start with understanding what’s going on.

In your initial evaluation, you’ll work one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy or Chiropractor. We take time to understand:

• What hurts and why

• What movements are limited

• What your goals are

• What you’ve already tried

This gives us a clear picture of where to begin—and how to build a plan that actually works for you.

Step 2: A Team Approach

Your care doesn’t stop with one provider.

Our PTs, coaches, chiros, and recovery team all work together. So whether you’re in physical therapy, private training, or semi-private sessions, you’ll have a connected team behind you.

We make sure your rehab plan and your training plan are aligned—so you’re not getting mixed messages or thrown into things you’re not ready for.

Step 3: Smart Modifications

Pain doesn’t always mean you have to stop. It just means we need to be smart about how you train.

We adjust key variables to keep you moving safely:

• Volume (how much)

• Intensity (how hard)

• Range of motion (how far)

• Tempo & load (how fast and how heavy)

• Positioning (how the movement is set up)

These changes reduce stress on painful areas while still helping you build strength and confidence.

Step 4: A Plan to Progress

This isn’t just about doing the same rehab routine forever.

Once we find your entry point, we build from it—one step at a time. You’ll move forward with structured progressions designed around your goals and your body’s response.

No random workouts. No guesswork. Just a clear plan that helps you move better, feel stronger, and stay out of pain long term.
