Sports injuries are common, yet recovery outcomes vary widely. In this recorded course, you’ll explore how sprains, strains, bruises, inflammation, and soft-tissue injuries develop, and why some injuries heal fully while others linger for years. The class examines the physiology of injury and repair, helping you understand what the body needs at each stage of recovery.
You’ll learn how inflammation functions as part of the healing process, how circulation and tissue nutrition influence repair, and why timing, movement, and supportive care matter. The course also introduces a range of holistic strategies—including topical applications, nutritional support, and traditional herbal categories—commonly discussed for supporting tissue recovery and long-term resilience.
This class is well suited for athletes, physically active individuals, and practitioners seeking a clearer framework for supporting recovery from acute and chronic sports-related injuries.

Sports injuries place significant stress on muscles, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue, yet they are often treated with a narrow focus on symptom suppression rather than full repair. In this recorded course, you’ll examine how injuries occur, how the body responds to trauma, and why incomplete healing can lead to recurring pain, stiffness, or vulnerability to reinjury.
The course begins by exploring the body’s inflammatory response and the stages of tissue repair. You’ll learn how swelling, circulation, and cellular activity contribute to healing, and why inadequate nutrient reserves, poor circulation, or premature immobilization can interrupt the process. Differences between sprains, strains, and impact injuries are clarified, along with common patterns that cause injuries to become chronic.
From there, the course explores holistic approaches commonly used to support each phase of recovery. These include topical strategies, movement timing, circulation support, nutritional considerations, and traditional herbal categories discussed in holistic health contexts for tissue resilience. Emphasis is placed on sequencing and moderation—supporting the body’s repair mechanisms without overstimulation.
While the course focuses on sports and activity-related injuries, the principles discussed apply broadly to overuse injuries, impact trauma, and lingering “old injuries.” The material provides a practical framework for understanding recovery as a process that unfolds over time rather than a single intervention.
