Should you ice it… or heat it?

If you've ever Googled injury recovery and found yourself spiraling into the P.R.I.C.E. vs. M.E.T.H. debate, you’re not alone. I used to preach M.E.T.H. like gospel — until I wrecked my own shoulder.

Here’s what actually helped me recover (spoiler: it wasn’t pendulums or turmeric lattes alone). This blog walks through my full rehab, what I got wrong, and what finally worked.

👇 Read it here:
https://excelsiorintegrative.com/main-blog/main-blog-shoulder-injury-recovery-p-r-i-c-e-vs-m-e-t-h/

Because recovery isn’t about trends — it’s about listening to your body, knowing when to move, and when to back the hell off.

Everyone’s got an opinion about heat vs. ice — but what happens when a clinician gets injured and has to find out what really works? This is the recovery plan that changed everything.
