There’s Still So Far To Go
Why that’s incredibly inspiring, instead of discouraging.
Today I was on a call with my back ability group. I was telling them about a pain that I’ve been having in my mid-back above the hips, a pain that’s remained consistent throughout my back pain journey.
Am I doing something wrong? I asked Brendan, our coach.
It’s not that you’re doing something wrong, he said. It sounds like that pain is deep in the back, and it’s likely just going to take time and progression.
He named various exercises and said he couldn’t imagine me still having that pain once I get to a certain point of low back strength and mobility. There are layers of progression yet to unlock; ability to attain.
I’ve been doing direct lower back training for over half a year. Still, this is really the beginning of my back healing journey.
I know this isn’t an overnight fix. It took me seven years to get like this. It’s gonna take time to unravel. I’m signed up for the long haul.
And while I can’t be certain when I’ll ultimately heal, I can be certain of this:
I’ll never give up, and I will heal.
On every one of these calls, I understand a little more. There’s still much to improve, boundless…
