Rehabilitation
What is rehabilitation? Getting someone back to full function and health and preventing re injury.
It’s a combination of strength, stability, joint mobility, muscle flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, speed, agility, power.
Its also recovery, nutrition, sleep, stress management.
It can also be hands on treatment, massage, mobilisations other modalities, exercises.
It's repeating something over and over until it sticks and then it's progressing it.
If all you’re doing is one of those for your injury you might not get where you want to be.
Start small, build on it. Work within your limitations, then push the boundaries further.
Your rehab should be equal to if not more challenging than your normal training sessions.
It should be HARD. It should be frustrating, if not, then we are not pushing the old patterns and strategies to come undone.
Change happens when we challenge the body, and the nervous system.
It’s upgrading your nervous system. Getting your body to adapt, to have no choice but to tolerate more than what it can currently.
You can apply this to anything in life.
Seek advice, if you keep doing the same things nothing will change.
Upgrade yourself, your training, your patterns.
