Our bodies have immense healing potential. While we may not be able to re-grow missing limbs like some animals, we can build new muscle fibers, connective tissue, and blood vessels after we sustain an injury.

But what if we don't completely heal? Eventually, our innate healing response tapers off. Damaged joints may become calcified, meaning that calcium builds up and limits our mobility.

Also, as we age, we're less likely to regenerate our tissue. That's a problem as our joints and vessels also lose elasticity and degrade over time.

Thankfully, our tissue responds very well to energy. For example, weight lighting triggers new muscle fibers to grow to replace tears. However, it isn't just kinetic energy that stimulates this biological response!
