Address the injury you have been managing instead of healing

The shoulder, the knee, the back. The one you have organised your life around.

Managing an injury for years costs more than fixing it once, in physio bills and in everything you quietly stopped doing.

Get an actual diagnosis rather than an internet theory, and follow the boring rehab for the full course.

Most of these are six to twelve weeks of unglamorous work and then a decade of not thinking about it.
