Whether you’re deep into your strength-training routine or focused on functional fitness at Physique 360, an injury can put a sudden damper on your progress. On top of dealing with discomfort, you may also worry about paying for a membership you can’t fully use. Before making any big decisions, here are some important considerations.
Manage Minor Injuries First
Many sprains, strains, and general aches can respond well to straightforward home remedies:
- Rest: A brief hiatus from intense workouts can give your body the recovery time it needs.
- Topical Gels & Sports Tapes: These can provide localized relief and help stabilize tender areas.
- Over-the-Counter Painkillers: Medications like ibuprofen or paracetamol often help reduce inflammation and pain.
In fact, many minor injuries improve within two weeks if you give them the proper attention and rest.
When the Pain Doesn’t Subside
If your injury lingers longer than two weeks—or worsens—consider these two key points:
- Use Non-Invasive Medical Technology
Modern, minimally invasive treatments can accelerate the healing process and help you avoid more drastic interventions. Techniques like targeted physiotherapy or advanced pain management tools can get you back to Physique 360 more quickly. - Avoid Unnecessary Membership Fees
It’s worth checking whether Physique 360 allows you to pause or cancel your membership for legitimate medical reasons. Many gyms offer policies that prevent members from paying for services they can’t use while recovering.
Get a Doctor’s Memo
To pause or cancel your membership due to medical reasons, most gyms require a formal assessment or documentation. The Pain Relief Clinic, established in 2007, helps sports-related injuries and can provide both a thorough evaluation and the memo you need. Visit:

While pausing your routine might feel like a setback, prioritizing full recovery ensures you’ll return to Physique 360 stronger, healthier, and ready to achieve new milestones.
