Neck Injury

In  Martial arts world  training, injury is really common in the gym.  But preparing the body before engaging in heavy physical activity is very good.  Stretching has been imposed in any martial arts.  I think in all arts stretching has been used as warm up for the whole body.   Some prefer to run, then stretching after few rounds.  After warm up it is time to review same moves and techniques. In taekwondo review kicks and in Aikido basic moves that relates to techniques.  I have a friend who suffers shoulder injury from executing extreme techniques.  Neck pain or neck injury is very common in any martial arts like rolling or drop move in Aikido, if you are not taught properly accidents will occur.  This is why practice makes it perfect in any art.

Motorcycle

Driving a motorcycle is not that easy, compare two cars.  I never imagine that it was more difficult driving a motorcycle than riding cars.  Even though there are benefits in motorcycle it is much safer in the car.  Arm and shoulder pain are very common in driving a motorcycle especially long distance.  After a long drive I usually experience some muscle exhaustion and sweating.  I also feel a slight numbness in my arms.  Compared to car it is much comfortable and you can relax driving one. But on the other hand, if you're stuck in the traffic it is best to be in the motorcycle where you can drive to small spaces.

Hip Pain or Leg cramps?

It's been months already when my wife has a pain problem in her lower part of the body.  It is hard for her to sit longer than an hour.  We have been so puzzled what is the reason of her leg cramps and hip pain.  The hip pain gives her a hard time standing up because of the pain.   We have to get a massage therapist to reduce the pain she has been experiencing, because of this she is having some problem to move around.  After a good massage the usually disappear for two to three days.  Then the pain will start to return again.  I've been thinking that improper blood circulation is the reason for cramps.  The pain cause to lie down than sitting.  We have been planning to walk around to strengthen her back.

Back to School

The class had resume last Monday.  All students are so excited about their first day of class.  Excited to see their classmate and friends to tell the story of what they been doing last summer.  Some students are excited to use their new school supplies.   This is the reason that traffic last Monday is so heavy.  Schools will soon issue many books to every student that will result shoulder pain and back pain in young kids.  Carrying a heavy backpack is not good for students as Department of Health been saying.  But to student they have no choice but to carry heavy bag to bring all the books that was required to them by the school.
