How can I recover mobility after an injury?

After an injury, scar tissue and protective tension can keep an area stiff and guarded long after it has actually healed. The body remembers the scare and keeps defending the spot. Regaining movement is less about strength and more about trust - showing the body, gently and repeatedly, that this range is safe again.

Because the lianas carry your weight and you control every movement, the guarded area never has to brace. Decompression of the body creates space and takes the pressure off, slow supported stretches rebuild the range little by little, and we work with the whole body so the healed spot is invited back into the team rather than singled out. To the edge of comfort, relax, step back, repeat - and the guard slowly dissolves.

Tell your trainer about the injury beforehand so everything is set up around it. Come once things have healed, start soft, and let the range return at its own pace.
