The #1 mistake I see after surgery (and how to avoid it)

Most people think recovery = rest.
But too much rest too early?
That’s how you lose strength, confidence, and momentum.

The real problem isn’t inactivity—it’s lack of strategy.

🧠 Comeback Insight

Movement is medicine.
Even small, intentional movement early on improves circulation, confidence, and healing outcomes. The key is structure, not strain.

🛠️ Recovery Tool of the Week

Ankle pumps + quad sets (Day 2 staples)

• Simple, safe exercises post-op

• Prevent stiffness and promote blood flow

• I give these to nearly every patient—don’t skip them

📢 What’s Coming

Next week I’ll share my personal stack:

Until then:
Stay active. Stay consistent.
Your comeback doesn’t start later—it starts now.
