Recovering from injury: pacing beats pushing

Dr. Sofia Garcia, Physiotherapy · 4 min read

The instinct after an injury is either to rest completely or to push through. Both extremes tend to slow recovery.

A graded, supervised programme — progressively loading the tissue as it heals — restores strength and confidence far more reliably than rest alone.

That's why we structure rehab as a course of sessions rather than a single visit: recovery is a process, and the schedule is part of the treatment.
