Transcript excerpt

Total knee recovery takes a full year, not six weeks, not three months, a year. But there's so much pressure to bounce back fast, to show off your progress, to crush recovery. Forget all that noise. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? Slow and steady always wins, so give yourself some grace. Take your time. Focus on just getting a little bit better each day. Stay consistent. Stay patient. You will get there. I believe in you. Now it's time for you to believe in yourself.
