An injury can quickly turn into frustration, fear, and questions about what you should or shouldn’t do next. This post shares my experience tearing my hamstring during Brazilian jiu-jitsu and how I approached the first days and weeks of recovery. Rather than shutting everything down, I used movement, controlled loading, and symptoms as a guide to gradually rebuild strength, confidence, and trust in the leg. Injuries need to be respected, but recovery is also about finding what you can do and progressively working your way back to the activities you love.
