It's so frustrating.

Unless you have a specific pain symptom (ex: It hurts HERE when I move like THIS.), they aren't going to be able to help you very much. A sports medicine doctor would be a better bet than your regular GP. I would also suggest seeing a massage therapist that specializes in athletes or deep tissue/myofascial massage. Many times, we don't realize how tight our muscles have gotten. That tension keeps us from being as flexible as we would like. I've had really good luck combining a long (1-1.5 hour) massage session with regular yoga/active stretching routines to help keep my body working fluidly and keeping my awareness of tight spots.<br /><br />That said. I haven't done these things for a long while, and I notice that I cannot get my right leg to do what I want any more. Time for yoga again. Gross. ;)Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129922736956266461.post-77746745792848028152016-04-13T07:18:43.512-07:002016-04-13T07:18:43.512-07:00Pongo was jumping his best when we were doing dres...Pongo was jumping his best when we were doing dressage three times a week (one lesson two by myself) hill work once and jumping once a week. When I was doing dressage I was really focusing on getting him straight, soft, and adjustable. Obviously this isn't the only way to go about things but it is some food for thought. I only discovered it because I lack confidence to jump outside of lessons. Also I am also skewed because I love dressage more than jumping. :)EventingSaddlebredStylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610596082916022402noreply@blogger.com
