Working through the injury rehabilitation process can be challenging for anyone experiencing an injury or recovering from surgery.
Working with a Mental Notes sport psychologist like Dr Jay-Lee during this process is NOT just for athletes returning to sport, it’s for real people wanting to manage the journey of injury rehabilitation for optimal recovery and return to the activities they enjoy most.
Mental Blocks that Disrupt Optimal Recovery from Injury:
- Avoidance of activities or skills due to worry or fear of re-injury.
- Decreased confidence, which leads to a decline in performance.
- Finding it difficult to comply with prescribed rehabilitation exercises.
- Over-whelmed by the injury rehabilitation process.
Our Approach:
- We understand the process of peak performance in every context. We work practically to help you chart the course of recovery set by your doctor and physiotherapist to achieve the results you desire.
- We have a solid understanding of how injuries from sport, performing arts, or work impact on your life and your mood.
- We work closely with coaches and sports medicine professionals to ensure that you’re receiving optimal direction and care in a multidisciplinary way.
Our Goals:
To help you get through being injured but also to help you make the most of the down time.
What We Do and How We Do It:
- Set the tone for optimal recovery
Specific problem solving skills to break through barriers that prevent you from following through with your prescribed rehabilitation exercises and goal setting to help you take control of the process step-by-step.
Challenge unhelpful beliefs and habits
Many individuals going through injury rehabilitation develop unhelpful beliefs about their abilities and their condition, consequently building psychological roadblocks around their sport or daily activities. We are experts in guiding behaviour change that hinges on the development of productive, optimistic thinking.
Guide Visualization Training:
The same neural pathways that fire when physically performing your sport skills are activated during visualisation sequences. Guided visualisation is introduced to help keep your mind and body connected to the fine-motor skills and routines in your sport, reducing anxiousness and enhancing confidence upon return to activities.
