recovery phase
Bouncing back stage
Recovery phase is the period following a crisis, illness, injury, or intensive effort when healing, restoration, or return to normal functioning occurs.
In medicine, it's the time after surgery or acute illness when the body repairs itself: She's still in the recovery phase after her knee replacement.
In economics, it describes the upturn following a recession.
In disaster management, it's the rebuilding period after emergency response ends.
The term implies a distinct stage—things are no longer critical, but normalcy hasn't yet returned.
