Cutting-Edge Healing: Laser Therapy, Cryo, BPC-157 & More
In this episode of Tea with Dr. D, I break down the most effective healing therapies and exercises to fix shoulder pain, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery, backed by science, not hype.
Laser Therapy: Deeper Healing Than Red Light
High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) penetrates 4-5x deeper than standard red light therapy.
Ideal for joint pain, tendon repair, and deep muscle injuries.
Fix Shoulder Pain with These Simple Moves:
Dead Hangs – "Hanging is great for shoulder pain." (Decompresses joints, strengthens rotator cuffs.)
Band Pull-Aparts – Rebalances shoulder muscles.
External Rotations – Prevents impingement.
Cryotherapy: How to Use Cold for Maximum Benefits
11 minutes per week (total accumulated time) is the sweet spot.
The McGill Big 3: Bulletproof Your Back
Modified Curl-Up – Protects discs while strengthening abs.
Side Plank – Stops rotational injuries.
Bird Dog – Trains full-body stability.
Non-negotiable for anyone with back issues.
Creatine: The Underrated Recovery Superstar
Not just for gym bros—boosts muscle repair, brain function, and cellular energy (ATP).
BPC-157: Injectable vs. Oral (Which Works Better?)
Both forms are effective, but the injectable form targets localized injuries more quickly.
Oral BPC-157 works systemically—great for gut healing and full-body repair.
