Thats great news Dave Mac You will soon be able to ease up on the housework duties

I wish! Now that she is more active, she can spot the bits I haven't done. :cry:

I now calculate that I should be due 3 sacks of brownie points over the usual sack and a half. Is that enough to get an extra few weeks skiing???

:) :) it's a shame it didn't work though :cry:

ESWT seems (according to Wikipedia's definition) to involve increasing blood-flow to the damaged area which promotes healing of the affected tissues.

I had some "alternative" treatment for a damaged shoulder where the blood-flow thing was key, firstly to rid the injured muscles of the toxins which had built up and secondly to improve/speed up the healing process. The girl who treated me basically scraped the area with a piece of old bone (apparently as the American Indians would have done.) Cue jokes about having reservations..! Some acupuncture was also required.

I looked as though I had been hit by a bus almost immediately afterwards,with blood coming to the surface and bruising coming out,but there was no pain involved and whilst the injury has not completely healed, the treatment was far more successful than anything else I tried.

Its quite interesting stuff, because when one feels pain (as I did when the shoulder muscles went into spasm) the brain apparently overcompensates in dealing with the pain and "forgets" to disperse the crap which builds up and therefore the healing process is slowed...

Ok RossF having a guess here but are you.......mudfoot??? yep some intresting stuff i agree all very use full to me and i am so greatful for the info.

Gutted for you ise wishing you good healing vibes sonds like skidaddle had a good healing session would love to know more!!!

To be honest if my yoga instructer were to look like the picture RossF posted, then I certainly wouldn't be clearing up any stiffness problems.

Tino, I see that Zermatt are offering "Buff Yoga" classes today. I'm not sure if it lost something in translation. You were thinking of visiting the resort, so chance to check it out.
:lol:

Judging by the weather at Zermatt, being naked is about the last thing I would want to be doing!!!
