Camus(@newstart_2024):“I beat it out of me.” Josh Brolin had a brutal 9mm slipped disc. Doctors told him to rest and consider surgery. Instead, he did the opposite, kept working out, running, and doing pistol squats even when it got worse. Then one day… it was just gone. Never came back. Movement is everything, he says. We’re so quick to default to rest and meds when something hurts, but sometimes the body needs to be pushed through the pain to heal. Real recovery isn’t always comfortable or conventional. Sometimes you have to move toward the discomfort instead of away from it.
