🗝️ There is often an overlooked side to injuries, and it’s a key component to being able to make a FULL recovery. 🗝️
Events like surgery and accidental injury (whether due to a car accident, sports injury, a fall, or an act of violence) can be accompanied by psychological trauma (such as PTSD) as well, whether we initially recognize the presence of trauma surrounding the event or not.
If you have endured a trauma in the past that activates a pain response, it’s ESSENTIAL to seek care and support for yourself emotionally in order to fully address lingering pain in your body.
This means that the complete remedy for healing ideally combines therapeutic movement AND working with a therapist or psychologist who can help you work through things like anxiety, increased stress, fear, and other thoughts and emotions that may be tied to the trauma you experienced.
To only address one side of your physical pain is to prolong the healing process, and while recognizing your need for additional support may be difficult, it will likely reap the most effective results in helping you regain your physical (and mental!) capacity.
I created the Burroughs Clinic to support your healing physically AND ensure that you feel like your best and whole self after an injury or loss of mobility.
