Ups and Downs of Recovery

It’s easy to get caught up in the expectations of what we think recovery from injury should look like. Think: Instagram vs. Reality…if we just work harder, the path will be straighter. 

Progress should never be a straight line up and to the right.

How would you feel if the first time you felt pain while running was during your first game back to soccer? Scared? Afraid of another injury?

We need the ups AND the downs to become our strongest selves - physically and mentally. Your journey is uniquely yours, but you can find comfort in knowing that everyone’s path will go down, backwards, and up.
