When I was having trouble with my hip flexors, I took it easy with the wabatui while I worked on other things (stretching and strengthening exercises outside of class), and it did eventually get better.<BR/><BR/>If you like, I can recommend a great chiropractor. He really helped me fix my hips. Also, Heng Jien's brother is a chiroprocator, and Jien thinks he really good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279352330626151767.post-64820467963848691852007-04-11T22:01:00.000-04:002007-04-11T22:01:00.000-04:00Sounds to me like you guys are training improperly...Sounds to me like you guys are training improperly. If your doing the motions correctly all these injuries shouldn't be happening. <BR/><BR/>Try relaxing more through your motions. If you alreayd have an injury then stop taining until it heals, or at the very least do nothing on that leg. I know the feeling of wanting to train hard all day long. Trust me though training with an injury not only makes it heal slower (and sometimes make it worse) but also trains your body improperly. This will lead to lerning the technique improperly and thus lead to more injuries. This vicious cycle will continue until your totally crippled. You'll then spend the rest of your life in bed drinking your food through a straw. <BR/><BR/>Ok maybe I'm exagerating but you get the idea. <BR/><BR/>Take it easy all<BR/>Peace<BR/>JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279352330626151767.post-1285802889459022472007-04-11T15:44:00.000-04:002007-04-11T15:44:00.000-04:00I've had a crazy weird pain as if my hamstrings we...I've had a crazy weird pain as if my hamstrings were pulling like a taut rope. During those times, I would rub Aspercreme on my hamstrings every night for 7-10 days. It helped a bit but definitely resting it a bit. Also, taking a hot shower after training helps relax my muscles. If I did train, I wouldn't go all out and crazy. But kept training two days a week. Then when it started to subside a bit, train harder! :) <BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, it hasn't been completely gone away. Every now and then it'd creep back up especially when I haven't trained for a week.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943852517106427054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279352330626151767.post-26340792196870068572007-04-11T15:35:00.000-04:002007-04-11T15:35:00.000-04:00I think you should sleep more.I think you should sleep more.sucheelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290732182213119760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279352330626151767.post-38376575424185385482007-04-11T14:24:00.000-04:002007-04-11T14:24:00.000-04:00I've been through shaolin sword problems a couple ...I've been through shaolin sword problems a couple of times. In every case the pain has been there nagging if I worked the affected leg at all. The most recent time I did *nothing* in practice with that leg (caijow only with the other leg, gongbu very, very high on the sore leg, no stretches at all, etc.) for a week and used icy-hot every night.<BR/><BR/>It took just over a week for things to really get better. I also put lots of extra time into warming up. I find that I'm most likely to hurt myself on the first kick of the day, so I force myself to kick half-height a few times to get a feel for how high I can go without straining anything.<BR/><BR/>I say rest it, and I mean rest it completely; See how it feels after a week.mikejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13539299597601287042noreply@blogger.com
