Hydration
•  Often overlooked, hydration is a key component in maintaining soft tissue health. Staying hydrated keeps the tissues pliable and more resilient to external factors. It also improves the quality of the fluid in your joints.

Sleep
• Sleep is vital in allowing our bodies to recover and regenerate tissue and a lack of sleep adversely affects soft tissue health.
