1) Sleep Quality
🧠 Recovery isn’t just physical…it’s biological. Poor sleep slows down tissue healing, reduces pain tolerance, and affects motivation and consistency.
👉 Even one or two nights of poor sleep can make your rehab sessions feel harder and your progress slower.
2) Stress & Mental Load
😣 High stress levels increase cortisol, tighten muscles, and alter how your brain perceives pain. This means you might feel more sore or stiff, even when your tissues are healing fine.
👉 Emotional stress = physical stress.
3) Consistency (Not Intensity)
💪 It’s not about smashing your exercises; it’s about showing up regularly. Missed sessions or inconsistent effort delay your body’s adaptation process.
👉 You don’t need perfection - you just need consistency over time.
