Pain-free is not the same as recovered. Why training on after your recovery cuts the risk of a new injury by up to 90%.
The pain is gone, so you are done. Right? Not quite. At the moment a complaint disappears, your body is often still weaker than before the injury. Weeks of moving less cost you strength, and that strength does not come back by itself. That is exactly where new injuries start.
Pain is the last symptom to disappear, not proof that your body can handle everything again. If you stop at that moment, you stay at a level below your old capacity. Every peak load, a sprint, a moving box, a long working day, then becomes a risk.
The more your body can handle, the smaller the chance that it goes wrong again. That is why the period right after your recovery is the best moment to build strength. Clients who keep training after their recovery are up to 90% less likely to relapse.
Training too heavy too soon gives new complaints, training too carefully delivers nothing. The art is in the right dose: heavy enough to get stronger, light enough not to disturb your recovery.
Once you are free of complaints with us, your physiotherapist hands you over personally to a personal trainer in the same team. That trainer knows exactly what your complaint was and what your body can handle. Within 4 weeks you feel the difference, within 8 weeks you see it.
