How Visualizing Movements Could Improve Healing...

In this episode, Dr. Derrick Hines breaks down the consistent patterns he sees in people who heal well: they protect their sleep, keep moving (even if modified), track their daily activity, focus on progress instead of pain, stay consistent with treatment, and view pain as information rather than danger. Most importantly, they approach recovery with curiosity and ownership instead of fear. These small shifts compound into dramatically better outcomes.

In This Episode

-- Why sleep is a non-negotiable for tissue repair

-- How modified movement speeds up recovery

-- The power of tracking steps during healing

-- Why focusing on pain can slow progress

-- How consistency compounds healing results

-- The link between fear of movement and poor outcomes

-- Why curiosity beats catastrophizing in recovery
