🚦The traffic light rule of rehab: When it comes to recovery from injury, surgery, or even preventing injury, the traffic light rule applies: Overloading body tissue (e.g., muscle) leads to injury; underloading leads to weakness. Optimal load leads to tissue adaptation and healing. The human body can adapt in wonderful ways - just give it the right stimulus and enough time. Finding the optimal load, or sweet spot, is key! 💪
