Stadion's Sports and Martial Arts Training Discussion

Just to let you know my back is a lot better now. No pain and full mobility! the nly thing I get is if i do a lot of exercise or stand up for a long time my lower back feels very tight and a bit sore. if I then bend forward and lean to the side, like I am trying to stretch my hip abductors, the side...

just thought Id let you know how my injury is progressing. Overall...much...much better! :) I did end up seeing an AK specialist and found him very helpful indeed. I only had one session but that was worth ten from my chiropractor! I wanted to go back a second time but couldnt afford it. Now I have ...

http://s6.invisionfree.com/MACentral Hi all, I have decided to create my own forum! This was because one of my favourite forums www.abudokan.com was deleted, so i decided to make one of my own. It has only just started so I dont know if it will be a success or not, but I hope some of the high quali...

thanks woz, those exercises seem helpful.

thanks for the input, it did sound like an advert for chiros tho! Anyway, I will recount my experience after my fist appointment with the AK guy: It turns out, I didnt know before the appointment that he is also a specialist in many other therapies, like chiropractic, massage, bach herbal and flower...

I found out that DC means chiropractor, and DO means medical doctor.

I have made an appointment with the DO after phoning for more info. I am a little dubious about what can be done for my injury, but I hope for the best and will update here what happens.

There are 2 AK practitioners in my area that I can get to to treat my lower back injury.

One has the letters "D.O." after his name, and the other has "D.C."

Can someone tell me what these mean, and which would be best to go to?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply Tom! The advice you give seems sound, but its always hard to find the right practitioner who can help you. I chose a chiropractor because I beleived they could treat the underlying cause (misaligned skeleton) rather than the symptoms of my problem. They did remove the sciatica,...

I get the same thing.

I dont think its a chronic injury - just to do with alignment.

Try swinging your leg in a different alignment, i.e. bring it more to the inside or outside of your body. That usually sorts it for me.

I guess that in the evening you have already been 'warming up' all day, but in the morning your muscles are cold and stiff from sleep.

oooh..the first post!! I just thought I'd share my experience of a back injury with you all. The injury was caused deadlifting in the gym with poor technique. I was ironically trying to strengthen my back, and I was in a rush. I had a rounded back and was moving too fast. I heard/felt a 'pop' and im...
