You may remember that I ruptured my Achilles at the end of March this year and it’s been quite the journey since then.
Recovery is going well. I’m doing my rehab, staying consistent, and feeling stronger every week but it hasn’t been a straight line.
Some days everything feels great, strong, mobile, hopeful.
Other days, it’s tight, sore, or slower than I’d like.
That’s the truth about recovery, it’s full of peaks and troughs.
The body doesn’t heal in perfect stages. It adapts, tests, and recalibrates. Sometimes it needs rest, sometimes it needs challenge and the real skill is learning to listen, not force.
I’m taking things very steadily as I make my way back onto the pitch with the amazing Touch Rugby team. It feels incredible to be moving again, even gently and I’m pacing myself, celebrating each milestone, and staying patient with the process.
I’m also proud to now be Iceni’s team osteopath, offering sideline support at tournaments, helping the squad stay mobile, resilient, and game-ready.
Recovery teaches you so much, not just about muscle and tendon repair, but about mindset, patience, and trust in your body’s ability to heal.
Progress isn’t about perfection, it’s about persistence.
If you’re in the middle of your own recovery journey, keep going.
Listen to your body.
Celebrate the small wins.
Remember, healing is happening, even when it doesn’t feel like it.
