📬 The Comeback Report

🧠 The Big Idea

Most setbacks don’t end because of pain — they stall because of fear.

It’s called kinesiophobia — the fear of movement after injury.

Your body can be ready, but your brain still says don’t move.

That hesitation rewires recovery — muscles weaken, joints stiffen, confidence fades.

Movement isn’t the enemy. It’s the medicine.

💡 Comeback Insight

Healing accelerates when you rebuild trust in your body.

The science is clear: early, guided movement restores confidence faster than rest ever will.

You don’t have to move perfectly — you just have to move intentionally.

⚡️ One Quick Action for This Week

This week, pick one movement you’ve been avoiding.

Do it slowly. Deliberately.

Notice what’s fear — and what’s actually pain.

Progress starts the moment you move through hesitation.

✍🏾 Personal Note

I strained my calf a few weeks ago training for a marathon. Last week, I gradually returned to my training program. A few times, I nearly stopped a run because I felt a twinge of pain. But what I realized was that my fear of reinjury was preventing me from settling in and trusting the healing process and believing my body could handle the load again.

The belief is the real rehab,
