[TheForge] Repetitive motion injuries

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

What I've found is that frequent gentle motion seems to accelerate 
healing  for tendon problems.
 The theory is that there isn't much for plumbing ( vascularization) in 
gristle
and  motion is what moves  nutrient fluids  around those parts so they 
can heal.
Also, moving to the edge of discomfort tends to desensitize the pissed 
off nerves in the area.
Even if it doesn't work, it helps to keep you occupied till it heals, 
just a little..all right......a very little.........Pete F
