Welcome everyone...why is it that athletes incur so many injuries? And it isn't limited to just one sport...it's all sports. Viewing tons of film, one can quickly pick out flaws in the warm ups and cool downs. Let's begin with the feet. Athletes spend a ton shoes. Shoes are restrictive. Naturally you have to wear shoes in competition. The book, "Born to Run" illustrates how people native to Africa run barefoot. During my intense workouts, (3x a week) I train barefoot, on a football field. This training helps make the feet stronger and the ankles. Watching NFL players warm up, all players were doing the same drills. Why! Stretching and other drills should have the same motion as when you perform in a game. Called Muscle conditioning. I can't claim to completely eliminate injuries, however rehab is not the best class to be. By the way, a doctor in NY has his patients run barefoot on a blacktop road.
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O

PAIN RELIEF
Hello and welcome everyone...my thanks to all of you who have
been following my blogs. As an athlete/competitor, the thing I fear
most is injury. Some of you also suffer from chronic pain. And there are some who don't know what it feels like to be pain free. We face two important parts in "body health." 1) body prep for
training and competing. 2) body maintainance, Let's address # 2.
Wintergreen oil...usage began years ago for it's medicinal properties
for treating symptoms of rheumatism, sore throat, tooth decay, insect bites, snake bites and bee stings. Caution: a one-oz bottle is
for anywhere from 100-300 applications. Wintergreen oil or
methylsatlicylate. What to look for: 1) St John's Wort, for relief
of nerve related pain such as sciatic and arthritis. 2) Arnica for
bruises and sprain. 3) Cayenne stimulates circulation. 4) Menthol
(from peppermint) increase blood circulation. 4) Ginger reduces
inflammation. 5) MSM relief from back and muscle pain.
6) Wintergreen oil for relief from arthitis, joint stiffness or muscle
spasms. 7) Emu oil for healing and anti inflammatory properties.
Wishing all of you a healthy and safe New Year.
Have a meaningful life everyone. JimmyO
