Injury Risk & Management
Session Objective
To establish the Safety Parameters of tissue expansion. We will define the bio-markers of over-training and learn the "First Aid" protocols for managing nerve compression, lymphocele, and fibrosis.
1. The "Growth Zone" vs. "Injury Zone"
In PhalloPhysics, we operate within the **Plastic Region** of the stress-strain curve. If we exceed the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) of the collagen fibers, we trigger macroscopic tearing and scar tissue (fibrosis) rather than healthy remodeling.
2. Identifying Pathological Indicators
A bio-engineer must be able to read the tissue's feedback. We use a "Traffic Light" system to audit health daily.
| Indicator | Classification | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Mild Fatigue / fullness | GREEN (Growth) | Continue Protocol |
| Coldness / Reduced Sensation | YELLOW (Warning) | 48-hour De-load |
| Discoloration / Sharp Pain | RED (Injury) | Immediate Cessation |
3. Management of Fibrosis (Scar Tissue)
If an injury occurs, the body may deposit disorganized Type I collagen (scar tissue). This tissue is non-compliant and can cause "hinge points" or curvature. We manage this through Therapeutic Ultrasound or targeted Proteolytic Enzymes.
