Pain does NOT always mean something is damaged.
And understanding that can completely change how you recover 👇
When your body is healing, it goes through a process - just like a building site:
🔧 Damage
🧹 Cleanup
🧱 Rebuild
That “cleanup phase” creates:
• Inflammation
• Sensitivity
• Discomfort
But that doesn’t mean things are getting worse -
it often means your body is actively repairing.
This is especially important over 50, where fear of pain can stop people moving…
and that’s what actually slows recovery down.
