🤲🏽 THE HEALER NEEDS HEALING ❤️‍🩹
::

Being on the other side of the treatment table has given me a new perspective on something I’ve spent years helping others navigate: injury, healing and recovery.

But there’s another side of injury we don’t talk about enough.

When you’re a full-time small-business owner who uses your body to make a living, getting hurt doesn’t just affect your body. It affects your work, your clients, your schedule and your income.

So I’m turning my experience into an opportunity to share and educate.

Over the next several weeks, I’ll share pieces of my recovery while exploring the science of soft-tissue injury through PEACE 👎 LOVE ☮️🥗❤️. The original PEACE & LOVE framework, introduced by Blaise Dubois and Jean-François Esculier, expanded the conversation beyond traditional R.I.C.E. to consider both early injury management and the journey back to movement and function.

I’m adding the 👎 for NUTRITION because I don’t believe we can have a complete conversation about healing without talking about what we’re giving the body to rebuild. Healing requires raw materials, and many of those building blocks come from what we eat. So, alongside PEACE & LOVE, we’ll also explore how nutrition can support tissue repair and recovery.

We’ll explore what the research says, what I’m experiencing firsthand, practical ways to support your recovery, and even some lessons about protecting your livelihood when illness or injury temporarily takes your ability to work off the table.

An injury happens to tissue.
Recovery happens to a person.

And sometimes that person has a business to run, bills to pay, people depending on them…and a body saying, “Not today.” ❤️‍🩹

This time, I get to experience recovery from every side:

🔬 the biologist
👩🏾‍⚕️ the nurse
🤲🏾 the massage therapist
📚 the business owner
❤️‍🩹 and the patient.

Welcome to my PEACE 👎 LOVE journey.

First up: P is for PROTECT. ☮️

🥈 SHE BROUGHT HOME THE SILVER! 🇺🇸🇰🇷
::

For a little over a year, I’ve had the privilege of working with Nateé as she prepared to compete on the world stage—helping her recover from training, supporting her tissues, reducing injury risk, and keeping those powerful muscles tuned for the task at hand.

Before she left, I put a little pressure on her: “Don’t come back to my table with anything less than bronze!” 😂

Well…she came back with SILVER from the World Masters Athletics competition in Daegu, South Korea! 🥈

Nateé, you made all of us at The Kneading Well incredibly proud—but little do you know, we were already proud of you long before that medal was placed around your neck.

The medal is silver, but this moment is pure gold. Congratulations, CHAMP! 💜💪🏾
