Corrective exercises have a place but they’re not the end goal.

They help restore awareness and control early on.
But staying there forever doesn’t build strength, resilience, or confidence.

Real life and sport demand force, speed, and adaptability.

Rehab should prepare you for that, not protect you from it.

Correctives are a bridge, not a destination.

SOZO (Greek: σῴζω) means:

to save, heal, make whole, restore.

In the original Greek, sozo means total restoration:
• physical healing
• emotional renewal
• mental clarity
• spiritual wholeness

It implies returning someone to full function.

Sunday reset 🙏

A mechanical flexion block doesn’t just limit motion, it alters motor strategy.

When the nervous system senses it can’t clear swing comfortably, it finds another way:
hip hike, circumduction, trunk lean.

Backward walking changes the demand profile.

It reduces required knee flexion during swing, shifts loading posteriorly, and increases time under quad control without aggressive anterior shear.

That gives us space to retrain rhythm before layering speed.

Restore sequencing first.
Then restore symmetry.
Then restore performance.

PEACE & LOVE is the modern, evidence-based approach to injury recovery.

Instead of chasing pain relief alone, it respects how tissues actually heal.

PEACE (early phase):
P — Protect: Reduce aggravating load while avoiding complete shutdown
E — Elevate: Help manage swelling when appropriate
A — Avoid anti-inflammatories: Inflammation is part of healing
C — Compress: Support swelling management
E — Educate: Set expectations and reduce fear

LOVE (recovery phase):
L — Load: Gradually restore tissue tolerance
O — Optimism: Beliefs and confidence influence recovery
V — Vascularization: Restore blood flow with active movement
E — Exercise: Build strength, control, and resilience

This framework works because it balances protection with progressive loading, not rest forever, and not pushing through pain blindly.

Recovery isn’t passive.

It’s guided, progressive, and intentional.

Elite athletes sometimes have to make life-altering decisions. It’s part of it. Risk doesn’t mean reckless.
Different stage, different standards.

Pretty much sum it’s up.

Ice, heat, and R.I.C.E. aren’t wrong, they’re just often misunderstood.

They can help manage symptoms and make pain more tolerable.

But they don’t rebuild strength, coordination, or tolerance.

Inflammation isn’t the enemy, it’s part of the healing process.

Recovery comes from movement and progressive loading, not just symptom control.

These tools should support rehab, not replace it.
