RICE vs MEAT
The debate between RICE and MEAT for injury recovery isn't about diet but methods. RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) was traditional, but MEAT (Movement, Exercise, Analgesia, Treatment) offers a science-based, long-term approach. Each has its place depending on the injury's nature and stage. Combining elements of both methods may be the best approach.

Deep Tissue Massage Doesn’t Have To Hurt
Deep tissue massage need not be painful to work effectively. The misconception of "no pain, no gain" doesn't apply here. Deep tissue techniques can vary in pressure, with lighter methods like myofascial release often yielding significant results without discomfort. Effective massage is about communication and should never cause more than a "good hurt." If it becomes painful, it's counterproductive. Speak up to ensure a comfortable and effective experience.
