Quarantine Is A Perfect Medicine For Physical Therapy

Who knew a pandemic would be so healing?

“You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius

You may not have control over your situation, but you can certainly find beauty in your circumstances. For example, taking this time out to heal an overly injured body now that the gym industry is mostly closed for business. With nowhere to go, now is the perfect time to focus on healing.

Personally, I have labored to an intense degree to build up my body, only to have hidden injuries suddenly wreck years of hard work. It’s utterly frustrating to be confined to my home and just…wait.

Like c’mon. I feel great, and I’m ready for action!

Unfortunately, my body says otherwise. So like many people around the world, I’m using this time to heal and practice physical therapy. My body wants time to heal? Fine. Now we have all of the time we could ask for.

After nearly two months of enduring this quarantine and giving myself the proper rest time, I feel incredible!

We’re living in a time period where we’re being forced to slow down instead of speeding up…
