And it's two things.

One is laser therapy.

and red light therapy.

And, and both those have different functions, but they can be incredibly helpful in improving tissue repair and regeneration because they activate your mitochondria.

The red light and laser will do many things, but one of the key things they do is to activate your mitochondria.

So I really encourage people, they can get those if they have an acute injury to use those.

And this is, this is a lot used again in athletes and sports.

When you take care of your mitochondria, your body will repair.

They're your repair crew.

You want to feed them well, you want to take care of them, and they will help you rebuild and heal faster.

Now, what about movement?

How do you move without making it worse?

Now, if you don't move, and a lot of people when they're injured don't move, it's a bad idea because you want to keep the blood moving and the blood flowing and the lymph flowing and the lymph moving.

And literally two days after my injury, I got my trainer in the gym and I was pretty banged and bruised up, but there were things that I couldn't do and I did them and it just gets your body moving.

And now I'm back to almost a full routine.

I can't stay up that well on my feet yet, but I'm doing a lot.

The goal isn't to avoid movement.

You want to use the right movement for your injury and you can work around it.

So.

For example, if you have an ankle injury, you can do circles and gentle circles.
