“From Setback to Comeback: Training Through Injury”
From Setback to Comeback: How to Train Through and Recover From Injury
Every athlete knows the frustration of injury. One moment you’re training hard, the next you’re sidelined and unsure how to get back. For many, an injury feels like a full stop — but with the right plan, it doesn’t have to be.
At On Track Online Training, we believe that setbacks can become comebacks. By combining strength training, mobility, and expert-designed rehabilitation programs, athletes can stay active, rebuild confidence, and return to their sport stronger than before.
The Biggest Mistake: Stopping Completely
When athletes get injured, the instinct is often to stop training altogether. While rest has its place, complete inactivity can slow recovery and lead to loss of strength, mobility, and confidence.
The Fix: Keep moving — safely. Training through injury means adjusting, not abandoning. With proper guidance, athletes can maintain fitness, protect healthy areas, and support recovery.
Why a Structured Rehab Plan Matters
Random exercises won’t cut it. Rehab needs to be tailored, progressive, and backed by experience. That’s why our Physiotherapist and Exercise Physiologist, Kaveh, has designed the injury prevention and full rehab programs inside the On Track platform. With over 20 years in the industry, his evidence-based methods help athletes recover the right way — not just quickly, but fully.
Training During Recovery
Injury doesn’t mean training is over. In fact, many athletes can (and should) continue training, with modifications:
Strength Training: Focus on unaffected muscle groups to maintain overall power.
Mobility Work: Keep joints moving, improve circulation, and speed up healing.
Conditioning: On-demand low-impact options to maintain cardiovascular fitness.
Rehab Exercises: Specific, physio-led movements designed to restore strength and function in the injured area.
The Mindset Shift: From Setback to Opportunity
An injury can feel like the end of progress, but it’s also an opportunity. With the right approach, many athletes return not just healed, but better prepared, having addressed weaknesses and built resilience.
At On Track, our mission is simple: to keep athletes moving, supported, and progressing — even through setbacks.
