Forget RICE. It is time for some MEAT.
For years, we have been told to Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate. But modern sports medicine is shifting toward a more active approach to recovery. While inflammation can be uncomfortable, it is actually a vital part of your body's natural healing process.
Instead of pausing, we focus on:
🥩 Movement: Pain-free motion to boost circulation.
🥩 Exercise: Guided loading to rebuild tissue strength.
🥩 Analgesics: Strategic pain management.
🥩 Treatment: Professional manual therapy to support the journey.
Healing requires motion, not avoidance. Read the full breakdown of why we are moving away from prolonged rest and toward active recovery on our wellness blog.
