I agree. The heat and humidity helps to cause a lot of the physical problems for guys during camp. Its tough to stay hydrated which increase the risk for injury.

Agreed. Yoga is awesome. I did it for years. Aftere suffering chronic back pain for years I tried yoga and have never had a back problem since. It limbers your body and tones muscle, and has many other prevenitive injury benifits.

I have a tedious stretching and muscle fitness routine I do every single day, which takes me about an hour and 15 minutes. This routine is based on Pilates because of its effectiveness to increase core muscle strength without creating a lot of strain on the said muscles. With this daily routine I can fight the degradation and preserve my spinal mobility... and with any luck my spine will "lock up" in a fairly mobile state. The routine doesn't help with the pain and I don't take any pain medicine, so the pain is still there with me every day. But it has helped my spinal mobility and movement a great deal and, therefore, it has made an immense impact on my attitude towards the condition and life itself. |

Thanks, but it's all fine.
Anyone can learn to live with some pain and discomfort... and since my condition is hereditary - as in I couldn't have done anything to prevent it - the Finnish government pays for all the meds and care I need or will need, so it's not even financially burdening as some conditions can be. I actually consider myself lucky to only be going through something like this 'cos my girlfriend's two cousins have a type of muscular dystrophy - can't remember which specifically - and man that's one hard thing to develop all of a sudden in your life... to lose all your muscle control and be forced into an electric wheelchair for the rest of your life... that's what I call bad! |
