Spitting absolute bars at the end there
On a serious note, this a very common approach to dealing with a fresh injury.
It's very important to get started on the process of recovery and the process may be a lot more active than you think.
Just asking your body is this okay to do? Move the area in a pain free range, train other parts of your body as you usually would, get some stimulus in ya.
Our brains just want to make sure we are and can survive, it predicts based on past experiences. When we have a lack of experiences to draw from, we struggle to gauge safety. Can't fully expect things to go well if you return to sport after just resting.
Without the necessary process our nervous system doesn't have a chance to acquire the ability to feel safe and our tissue(s) won't experience the stressors that'll help it to heal.
Injury rehab isn't just beneficial, it's a necessity.
