bounced back
Regained prior strength
To bounce back is to recover from a setback, disappointment, or difficulty.
The image is of something resilient—a ball returns after hitting the ground: She bounced back quickly after the surgery.
The phrase implies not just recovery but a return to previous form or spirits: The team bounced back from their losing streak.
