You feel better after an injury. But what happens next?

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
You finished physical therapy. The pain has eased. You’re ready to get back to the activities you love. But there’s a part of injury recovery that nobody seems to prepare you for.

In this episode of Making Muscle Memories, I share the story of a young volleyball player after knee surgery, along with lessons from my own injuries. We’ll explore why feeling better may not tell the whole story—and what it means to care for your muscles long after an injury.
