I was first introduced to this group by another member two weeks ago. Since then Dr. Weinrich has thrown me a lifeline during my proximal hamstring surgery recovery. I wish I had known of its existence immediately after my injury , as my knowledge was extremely limited. As you all know this injury and recovery can be very isolating . I am now a little over three months post surgery. I can say that the last two weeks, with the access and utilization of all aspects of this program, I noticed my anxiety has lessened, and my understanding of this injury and recovery has increased. Through my conversations with Dr. Weinrich, her expertise and the guidance of her program I have recognized my daily/weekly gains both mentally and physically (no matter how small). I try to emphasize those as opposed to my setbacks. I also was reminded it is so important to “give my body a voice”. Even when my mind is telling me one thing I need to take the time each morning to listen to my body. I have taken that to heart and it really helps me to get through the daily battles as well as the daily wins. If anyone needs to talk, feel free to reach out, no matter where you are in your journey.

Hi guys, hope you are doing well on your Journey. I am recently doing interviews again, mainly on mental struggles during the rehab. Is there anything you particularly would like me to ask other people considering their recover mindset?

Some people might find it weird or ridiculous but maybe some people might find it interesting. I have an injury in my meniscus since 4-5 months now, and I've never really took a break of training AND especially competitions. I didn't really know also what it was until I received the result from my MRT last month. It is hard for me to step back, to tell myself that I should reduce training and to decline for competitions. I was scared to not be able to do it, to be strong enough to say NO, to tell myself that I need to rest as training, becoming better has become an obsession. In attachment you can find a contract with myself, for the next two months I told myself that I won't do any competition and that I will focus on my recovery and increase my mental strength. I just wanted to share it with you, maybe it can inspire/help you, or also maybe not. But here we go :) What do you think? Did you already experience something similar?

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know: The first Videos of Own Your Hamstring Recovery are up! Just go to the "Classroom" Tab and you will find them there under Phase 0 (and soon Phase 1) What do you think about them? Any suggestions on how to adapt? Let me know and thanks in advance!
