Collagen supplements are becoming increasingly popular for supporting healthy skin, joints, bones, and overall wellness. However, recent research shows that not all collagen peptides are equally effective. The latest focus in collagen science is on dipeptides and tripeptides, smaller collagen particles that are easier for the body to absorb and use.
Could DMSO be useful and effective in helping to accelerate the healing of soft tissue injuries? It is definitely an alternative strategy that you may want to investigate. It has been extremely effective for my rotator cuff issues and keeps me “banging” away on the pickleball court. Yes, I am still trying to master the softer side of the game. Ha!
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) treats soft tissue injuries primarily by acting as a powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic agent that rapidly penetrates skin to reduce swelling and pain. It acts as a free radical scavenger to halt tissue damage, accelerates healing by boosting fibroblast proliferation, and reduces edema.
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating two eggs daily lowered LDL cholesterol, while diets high in saturated fat raised it.
Researchers found that cholesterol from eggs did not raise LDL, but saturated fat from foods like bacon and sausage did, showing that food context makes a major difference.
See, grass-fed beef is one of the most nutrient-dense, health-transforming, delicious foods on this planet. It’s a real superfood. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get the credit it’s due!

That’s significant because more than half of us consume inadequate levels of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats. In fact, a 2009 Harvard study revealed that omega-3 deficiency kills up to 96,000 Americans each year!

Adults and athletes in Beverly and Newburyport often push through pain, injury, and stiffness until everyday movement or training starts to feel frustrating and uncertain. The hard part is that recovery can stall when stress stays high, sleep gets choppy, and the body feels disconnected from what the mind wants it to do. Optimal wellness doesn’t require a perfect starting point; it grows from simple self-improvement strategies that support stress reduction benefits, steady fitness and recovery, and a calmer mind-body balance. Small changes can help the body feel safer, stronger, and more capable.
Consistently sleeping fewer than seven hours per night reduces the body’s ability to maintain, repair, and recover over time. From a physical therapy perspective, sleep is a fundamental biological process that directly influences recovery from injury.
What’s really causing your patients’ “tight hamstrings” in up to 76% of patients? Find out in this new study by Pesesse et al. (2025).
The authors assessed 178 asymptomatic adults to determine whether the discomfort limiting their hamstring range of movement (ROM) was muscular or neural.
They split them into two groups, who received one of the following assessment tests:
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people struggle with daily activities such as walking, sitting, bending, or even sleeping comfortably. Whether it starts suddenly or builds over time, back pain can limit movement and reduce quality of life if not treated correctly. The good news is that most low back pain responds well to the right approach—one that focuses on movement, strength, and long-term prevention rather than quick fixes.
Understanding how low back pain develops and what helps improve movement is the first step toward lasting relief.
