Acupuncture can greatly help with sports injury. But here are some steps that are important to ensure a good recovery. In the first 24-48 hours you will have to Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation (RICE) the affected area.  This will help to reduce the bruising and inflammation.

After this time you can start to repair your injury by doing gentle exercise followed by a gentle stretch.  After exercise use the RICE procedure again.  For ICE you would protect your skin from direct contact with the ice with some material.  For big muscles that get a lot of blood supply you can ice the area for up to 10 minutes and then repeat in an hour.  For tendons and ligaments which have a poor blood supply you must be careful not to over ice, so no more than 5 minutes and never on bare skin.  This will reduce the inflammation.
An important aspect of repair and healing is the flow of blood and energy to the area.  This must be encouraged and here are some suggestions;

• Gentle exercise
• Acupuncture
• Magnetic therapy
• Ultra sound massage
• Electromagnetic heat lamp

 

Unfortunately an old injury after playing Airoball has started to play up, plantar fasciitis.  Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation and irritation of the plantar fascia, the connective tissue that supports the arch. In my case it is caused by micro-tears in the fascia at or near its attachment to the calcaneus (heel).  So I am having to reduce my walking and follow a care routine of stretches (gentle) and frozen peas after exercise, acupuncture and electromagnetic heat lamp.  Also I am going to try ultrasound massage therapy.  It has improved but still tends to flare up after exercise.  What a bother!

We all walked on a beautiful day on the Green Sands Way around Hascombe.  The eldest walker is 72 years!

The lakes became dark and stormy.  At one stage standing became impossible, I was on my hands and knees as the wind whipped over a col.  A photo opportunity was missed as hats and maps flew over the crest.  In the photo here I was on Black Crag with Great Rigg and Heron Pike in the distance.

Walking for a few days in the Lake district we were very lucky to have blue skies and little wind – I hope it lasts.  Taking my training for the Santiago Way seriously I decide to take the hard way up.  I have always found I can climb up but can’t climb down.

Edith Stefan will be walking with me on the Santiago Way in September.  If you would like to sponsor me go to Just Giving Acupuncture Claire Arthur or click here 

Acupuncture therapy can help to turn breech babies naturally.  Moxibustion is often used as part of Acupuncture treatment, this involves burning Moxa herb to produce a warming sensation. In the case of breech position the Moxa would be used close to your little toe. Success rates as high as 80 per cent have been reported.
