When recovering from an injury or chronic aches and pains, you may experience some setbacks or flare-ups worse than before. This is totally normal for the healing journey! Some common setbacks with recovery are doing too much, too soon, believing that worse flare-ups equal a worsened injury, and mismatched expectations.

You can return to activity or exercising, but at a level that your body, muscles, and ligaments are ready for. If you do too much, too soon, you will end up with more pain and soreness than before.
โข ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ง= ๐ข๐ง๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฒ -After targeting the injured area, it may have more pain or soreness than before; that is totally normal in the recovery process! It doesnโt mean the injury is worse but that the lack of previous movement or overcompensation youโve had to deal with to protect the area has been overloaded. Try light movement, hydration, nourishment, or changing positions until your body gets back into the swing of things.

There will be ups and downs along the way. The positive with this journey is that even with setbacks, you may not have been confident enough before to try and get back into movement or activity.
