Rehab after injury
Dealing with a sports injury can be a daunting and frustrating process. When your sport is a central part of your identity, being away from training and competition becomes not just a physical challenge, but a mental one, too.
The rehab process after a sports injury is comprehensive and focused on getting you back to competition-level physical performance. But what happens when your body is ready to go back, but your mind isn’t?
It’s common for negative thoughts to come to the surface when dealing with a sports injury. Will I get hurt again if I go back? Will I ever be able to compete the way I used to? How do I deal with not doing my sport for a long period of time? Although these fears are common, it’s not something to deal with alone.
