5. Muscular injuries. In my experience the vast majority of the time the answer to a muscle injury has been to exercise that muscle at lower intensity. This applies to delayed onset muscle soreness, pulled muscles, and everything that’s not an overuse injury (which takes experience to identify).
This does NOT apply to joint and connective tissue injuries.
Even an overuse injury in some cases. For some reason I'm prone to tendonitis with repetitive loading - think digging, or sets when lifting. The solution is to increase blood flow by doing the same movement that gave me tendonitis, but at a MUCH lower intensity.
