Me: “I'm losing the curves of my spine?!?" I muttered out loud.
I froze, I knew exactly what she had said but I was in denial.
Doctor: "Yes, and you'll need to commit to a local rehab clinic 4 times a week to see results"
I was confused and overwhelmed with the thought of that.
Me: "How can anyone commit to that frequency?" I remembered thinking.
"If I can't commit to 4 times a week, what are my options?"
Doctor: " You can youtube videos of what other people are doing to get results for their back pain and start there, come back if it gets worse"
"but i'm in pain now!!" I responded.
..... Her lack of resourcefulness hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt like I had ZERO support.
I was frustrated, defeated and in pain.
"Why is it so hard to access quality resources?"
"Is this going to be me for the rest of my life?! "
After going through that experience, and thousands of dollars to continue my learning, I realized the problem.
I realized in that moment, "If I stood any chance of getting better, it needed to be with a new approach"
I needed resources that would help active people like me manage aches and pain that are a part of an active lifestyle.

.......I needed RECOVERY CARE.
