🍄Why do flare-ups happen when I feel like I'm doing 'all the right things'?
This is THE QUESTION I get from frustrated patients who've been consistently exercising, stretching and getting adjusted.🌟
The answer?
Your prevention routine is making you stronger, BUT it can't eliminate every trigger in your busy life:
❌That work deadline keeping you glued to your screen...
❌Stress from juggling ALL THE THINGS...
❌Poor sleep (thanks kids/hormones/life)...
❌Being everyone's pack mule...
Your body will always signal stress🏳️ WHERE it's most vulnerable—old injury sites, areas of past trauma.
But here's what your consistency IS doing: making those flare-ups shorter, less intense, and less frequent.💪
Without your prevention work, you'd be dealing with debilitating pain instead of manageable discomfort.
You'd be missing work instead of just feeling sore.
Progress isn't perfection.
It's resilience. 🤛
🫵Keep going.
