What is this "injury" thing I keep hearing about? "Injury" is that pain that slowly fades after your wife or girlfriend kicks you square in the jewels because you smiled at some woman on the street. ;-P

I am emailing this article to my mom, maybe now she will get off my back when I get sick or injured.
31 years old and she still wants to treat me like I'm 7. I love her to death but the nurse in her never stops.

Did this study give any consideration to the possibility that "manly men" are more likely to be in better physical condition when they get injured and that could lead to their faster recovery?

What the "experts" don't know, "advocates" do.

"What is this "injury" thing I keep hearing about?" It's a means of getting weakness to leave your body.

more like we don't grab every crutch we can. becoming dependant on a crutch will slow recovery.
a crutch can be anything. wife catering to your needs, pain meds, time off work, etc.

"The immediate message here is to encourage psychotherapy along with traditional methods of healing,"
The psychotherapy aspect of a manly man. "Get out of bed and get back to work you p*ssy"
"traditional methods of healing" Take an asprin and ignore any left over pain.

I went to graduate school with a Harvard grad (from Iowa) who was a QB for the Johnny's football team. He was a tough guy (smart and nice also). It might be rare, but it happens...

"...this study encourages us to redefine strength and masculinity..."
Why, to help the health care industry? ;')

Advocates are more informed than experts?
Then again, most so called experts are more like advocates.
