As Seen on ABMP by Ruth Werner Several weeks ago, I had a great conversation with the good people at The ABMP Podcast about COVID-19 vaccines and what we knew at that point in time.

Addressing the buildup of scar tissue during the healing process can help avoid many of these long-term issues. One of the most effective methods of reducing the buildup of scar tissue is a specialized form of massage known as manual lymphatic drainage. Incorporating this massage technique into your…
