Recovery: Less is More

Effective recovery is a two-phase process that begins with entering a parasympathetic state and culminates in tangible improvements in muscle and tendon health. The initial step towards recovery is to reduce activity, rather than increase it. Experts emphasize the importance of subtraction over addition in recovery strategies. Rather than seeking additional routines or modalities, athletes should focus on minimizing efforts that hinder recovery. This counterintuitive approach addresses the common tendency of type A athletes to overextend themselves in an attempt to enhance recovery. Ultimately, successful recovery is largely about doing less, allowing the body to naturally heal and restore itself.
