Sore for days, not hours
If you're taking longer to bounce back from training, a physical week or an old injury, that's a physiology question rather than an age one. And it can be looked at properly.
Free. A doctor reviews it within 24 hours. You only pay if you go ahead.
Most people have quietly adjusted around it.
- Sore for days after something that used to take hours
- An old niggle that's never fully settled
- Waking up unrefreshed however long you slept
- Picking up every bug going, and taking longer to shake it
- Planning your week around what it'll cost you afterwards
- Quietly assuming this is just your age now
It's a symptom, not a diagnosis. These are some of the patterns behind it.
Deep sleep
Most of the body's overnight repair happens in the first few hours of deep sleep. Shallow nights cap everything else.
Blood supply
Tendons and ligaments have a poor blood supply, which is why they're slow to settle and why old injuries linger.
Inflammation
A low-grade inflammatory load raises the cost of ordinary life and competes with recovery.
Load versus capacity
Training, physical work and life stress all draw on the same reserve. A doctor looks at the whole budget, not just where it hurts.
A detailed assessment, read by a doctor.
Your doctor needs the real picture, not a general sense of feeling run down. The assessment covers the following.
- What you're recovering from, and for how long
- Training, work and physical load
- Any injuries, current or past
- Sleep, current health and medications
No cost to submit or have it reviewed. Completing it doesn't guarantee any particular treatment. A doctor decides what's appropriate for you.
- A doctor-reviewed summary of your situation
- What your doctor recommends, and why
- Nutrition, sleep and routine guidance
- Safety checks against your health and medications
- A follow-up plan
- Clear, itemised pricing
Reviewed by a second, independent doctor before anything goes ahead.
