RE: Road to Glory - Injured and looking for purpose
Interesting article / video. Loved the sound effects when the food's being shown off.
I've just come back from a back injury (lower back) that was probably down to overextending myself at the gym (doing hyperextensions) though it actually went just picking something light up off the floor. That's how it is though, isn't it? You accumulate damage and then the injury comes.
For me, it could just be old age. ;)
The recovery was taking an age. A week went past and then back to square 1 as a sneezing fit caught me out. Then, I had the idea to tie my football scarf tight around my waist (it's an LFC scarf ;) ) and instantly I started to heal. Or at least, the pain went away.
3 days after the scarf treatment and I'm back at the gym tomorrow. Probably should invest in bandages should my back go again but I think I'm probably just overdoing it and just need to lower the resistance.
Good luck, anyway. And have you not thought about being a gymnastics coach? You're obviously more than capable of being one.
Thank you for your comment. I really appreciate it!
Maybe the cause is really overtraining and overloading. I have considered this, but my physiotherapist or my sports physician will be able to tell me more about it. Especially my exercises on the rings are very demanding for the lower back.
I've always had a slight hollow back, which may increase the cause, as it makes it very difficult to implement the right technique.
I am not just a gymnast, but also a gymnastics coach training a few kids at gymnastics. Thank you for your praise!
