Turning Failure into Growth: How to Embrace Setbacks as Stepping Stones to Success

A brace, Right? If we have a brace on an arm initially, right after the injury, that's so great because that support protects the extremity from additional damage. It allows the right pressure gradients so that scar tissue can heal in the right form, so that the bones can heal in aligned ways. The support is a huge part of growth. But what if that that cast or the brace was on the extremity for two years after the injury? The muscles would waste. There'd be no utilization of that arm beyond a certain base level function. Because that cast or that brace is going to limit its ability to grow. What it needs is to be challenged.
