When rest no longer feels enough
Recovery isn’t passive.
It’s an active physiological process.
If you’re resting but not restoring — feeling flat, sore, or depleted — your system may not be downshifting properly.
At Livelong, recovery is treated as a skill the body needs support to relearn.
Why recovery breaks down
Recovery is compromised by:
-
ongoing stress
-
shallow breathing
-
poor sleep depth
-
emotional load
-
seasonal depletion
The body stays in “doing mode”, even when you stop.
How Tom works with recovery
Tom supports recovery by:
-
regulating nervous system tone
-
reducing physical holding
-
improving breathing efficiency
-
restoring recovery rhythms
This creates the conditions for repair — rather than forcing rest.
What care looks like
Care is slow, grounding, and stabilising.
People often notice:
-
deeper rest
-
steadier energy
-
fewer flare-ups
Who this suits best
This suits people who:
-
don’t feel restored by rest
-
crash after busy periods
-
feel constantly “on”
