I found the best way is to use Chiropractors, not only after injury, but also before injury.
The world thirsts for grace. When grace descends, the world falls silent before it.
The rubber hits the road when we try to show grace to a person most unlike us, even someone morally offensive.

It carries the sense of deliverance from an existence that has become compressed, confined and cramped.
