Are You Waiting to Go Back to Normal?
One thing I have been hearing a lot lately is when will we go back to normal? Let's face it we are not going back to normal. I couldn't be happier about it. Sure, right now it is tough and we are all having to adapt and adjust. However when we have to adapt and adjust to the curveballs life throws at us we evolve we grow and we are more prepared for the next curveball life throws at us.
If you wait for normal to return, you are going to be waiting a long time.
You have the choice. You can sit and wait for things to go back to normal. Or you can roll with the punches and craft what your new normal looks like.
This is true for Physical Therapy as well. If you have pain somewhere you can just wait it out and hope that it goes away, or you can do something about it to fix it. Just like waiting for the new normal to come back we are unsure of how long if ever that is going to take, and in the mean time you just deal with the pain.
No such thing as normal pain. Pain is our bodies check engine light. When it goes off it is letting us know that something is wrong. We can choose to ignore it and hope that something bad doesn't happen, or we can take it in and get it checked out.
It is never fun to take your car in for repairs. That is no ones favorite thing to do, but on the other side of it you usually feel better and your car runs much better. The same goes for your body. The difference is that you can buy a new car. You can't buy a new body.
