Why Your Recovery Days Matter More Than You Think

Do you push hard at the gym but neglect your recovery? You’re not alone. Many athletes and gym-goers across Norwest, Dural, and the Hills District overlook this crucial part of performance.

At Strive Sports and Health, our physiotherapists and sports chiropractors regularly see injuries that could’ve been avoided with smarter recovery strategies.

What Happens During Recovery

Recovery is when:

• Muscles rebuild stronger

• Inflammation reduces

• Your nervous system resets

• Flexibility and mobility improve

Without it, your body doesn’t adapt—you just accumulate stress.

Signs You’re Not Recovering Enough

• Ongoing soreness

• Decreased performance

• Irritability or fatigue

• Trouble sleeping
