Psychosocial Injury Recovery
Psychosocial injury recovery covers fear, stress, and identity after injury—factors that change pain perception and PT adherence as much as mechanics.
Psychosocial injury recovery addresses fear of re-injury, identity loss, and stress that change pain perception and adherence. Kinesiophobia can keep athletes avoiding loads their tissues tolerate.
