I'm not here to fix you

Something flared up last week.

​
Maybe it was the squat session. Maybe you slept weird.

Maybe it just showed up out of nowhere, the way it sometimes does.

And the first thing you did was reach for your phone to book an appointment.

No judgment. That's what you've been taught to do.

My thoughts on this:​
​
Every time you hand that moment off to someone else, you get a little less capable of handling it yourself.
​
You stop trusting your own body. You stop knowing what to do when things flare up.
You start feeling like you can't train, can't push, can't make a single decision without someone else signing off first.

That's not healing. That's just getting managed until the next flare-up.
​

Real rehab isn't passive. It's not something that gets done to you on a table.
​The goal should be to give you the tools and understanding to stay out of pain, not just get you out of it for now.
​
There's a big difference between relief and actual results. One keeps you coming back.

The other makes you more resilient.

Talk soon,

P.S. Good rehab should eventually make itself unnecessary. If your current approach doesn't have an exit strategy for you, that tells you everything.
