Sometimes the way you perceive your sickness can affect your recovery road.
📚 Research shows that a positive attitude towards rehabilitation can brings down your recovery period.

☝️ If you go back to sports or your daily activities without giving sufficient time to recover it can worsen your injuries.
☝️ At the same time delaying rehabilitation can hamper your recovery leading to long term effects.
☝️ Always discuss with your physiotherapist what you want to achieve in order for them to help you set achievable goals.
Setting unrealistic goals can lead to mental fatigue and therby delay your recovery.
