Movement Myths Busted - Sorting Fact from Fiction in Your Recovery
❌ MYTH: “Rest Is Always Best”
✅ TRUTH: Gentle movement can speed up recovery.
It’s a common instinct to rest completely after an injury, but in many cases, prolonged rest can actually slow your recovery and lead to stiffness, weakness, or delayed healing.
We guide you toward the right kind of movement and find the right balance—not too much, not too little. This might include light mobility work, targeted strengthening, or guided exercise under professional supervision.
❌ MYTH: “Pain Means Damage”
✅ TRUTH: Pain is a signal, not always a sign of harm.
Pain is complex. Sometimes it reflects tissue injury—but other times, it’s your brain’s way of responding to stress, fatigue, fear, or inflammation.
Persistent pain doesn’t always mean something is “broken” or “worn out.” Our physios are trained to assess pain holistically and help you build confidence in movement again.
❌ MYTH: “If I’m Not Sore, I Didn’t Work Hard Enough”
✅ TRUTH: Soreness isn’t the only sign of progress.
DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) is common after new or intense workouts, but you don’t have to feel sore to be improving. In fact, well-structured rehab and strength training aim to improve movement efficiency, not just create discomfort.
