Email: Can’t play competitive netball due to injuries. Disappointed. (Australia)
Empathetic. It’s devastating when we can’t pursue our passion to the levels we know we’re capable of. Takes a long time for the heart to accept what the mind already knows. But, with a bit of creative thinking, we can still engage in our passion whole-heartedly.
For now, my physiotherapy sessions are more of a dance routine. Modified a few usual by the book exercises to regain balance & strength. So, my physiotherapist is less frustrated & the daily regime is less painful for me! She playfully blends original physiotherapy exercises with dance movements to make it fun, effective & less stressful. Expected healing outcomes are encouraging.
Guess, we just have to make the most of now, visualise with a sense of renewed passion, focus & energy. Hope & belief are great motivators. Keep the faith. Good luck.
