SPEED HEALING

Good thinking

Injured? Think positive and stick with the rehab to get back on the road as quickly as possible. That’s the finding of a research review2 on the topic, which concludes that negative feelings (especially fear of reinjury) and poor adherence to rehab exercises lower the chances of a return to sport. A pessimistic attitude affects how faithfully you’ll stick to your rehab and the stress associated with those negative emotions is thought to affect the rate at which you heal.
