Who said anything about other people? One of the reasons I spend so much time diving is the lack of other people 100' under water.Oh it’s just boring, I don’t need to tan and ‘hell is other people’. As for sand up your crack….
That’s diving under the water/faeces mixture, not lying on a beach.
I don’t! I wear a mankini
Can't stay under the entire time... the longest dive I've done was about 7 hours. But it's still easy to find empty beaches.
The banana hammock is also not ok.I don’t! I wear a mankini
I have made the same conclusion. They have a standard protocol, that should be "tried" in order for certain patient grops. I talked to another PT that said that, IF the patient is able to find their OWN excercises that does feel better, that is often much better. So as always, if you want something properly done - do it yourself.I’m fairly convinced the various PTs don’t really understand what they’re doing and are simply applying a ‘standard protocol’ for anyone with ‘shoulder pain‘. Here’s how I reached this conclusion:
I have the symptoms of supraspinatus tendinopathy caused by the tendon repeatedly rubbing against the roof of the shoulder joint. So what does the PT suggest? Rehabilitation exercises that cause the supraspinatus tendon to repeatedly rub against the roof of the shoulder joint! My symptoms worsen, I return to the PT and what does the PT do? They give me one from the very same set of rehabilitation exercises, reduce the resistance and number of reps and sets that I should perform. The shoulders (yes it’s bilateral now) do not improve. Does that seem logical? (incidentally the right should was injured when I commenced exercises to prevent shoulder issues occurring in it as I’ve experienced in the left shoulder).
You have my sympathy.
Every time when I realize that people who have
To facilitate this I’ve had to order a very expensive shoulder rehabilitation book to build up my knowledge in order to treat myself.
Yes. Since anti-inflammatory drugs help me more than anything (and posterior tilting of the scapula when reaching for things in order to avoid abrading the tendon) I want to push for a steroid injection into my shoulder(s).
I could do an MRI scan on myself…or instruct someone else to do it while I was in the tunnel, but I get very claustrophobic in the ‘tube of doom’.
I think you’re right. I don’t holiday as it’s not really in my culture to do so, it’s a real hassle with airports, passports immigration control etc and costly, especially in holidaying in the U.K., plus I have an elderly loved one I don’t want to leave alone (
). When I can, I will try going away.
I have entertained this idea. I still feel like a 20 something, but I’m undoubtedly not. We should be told all about what 6o expect with advancing age at high school. At least we have the option of opting out if we don’t like what we hear!
That’s a harrowing story, HighKick. Do you think it’s an even worse experience because of the heights you were once at? I used to hate being below average looking, but when I look at my once good looking friends, struggling with their loss of looks and in particular becoming invisible to their preferred sex, I realise that I was actually blessed as I had my early life to be relatively invisible to women and it provided the impetus to develop a charming personality () whereas my good looking friends are all dull as ditchwater! Thank goodness for sapiosexual women!
Ah, the dreaded 50s…
Awful…just awful
It‘s an awful cliché, but the accident forced you develop effective coping mechanisms.
Damn those itis brothers!I feel good after taking ibuprofen as I am today.
I didn’t sign up for this
Bast*rds!
Gimme Ibuprofen!
That’d be referred to as ‘meditative absorption’…when your actions are all-absorbing of mental processin….you become lost in whatever you’re doing.
Yes I read about creatine’s positive cognitive effects. It’s cheap so I’ll keep taking it.
I was very flexible having had to work at it, so my current lack thereof is saddening (see above about good looks). Having said that, I can sit in half lotus, just about grasp my ankles bending forward, relax indefinitely in the Asian squat and get about 30-40cm from the floor in box splits. It’s only when I witness others of my age or indeed younger attempting and failing to mimic me that I realise I’m not too inflexible.
I think that’s exactly does happen with repeated stretching.
Slow breathing and easing into the stretch?
A nice observation….
It was never about my appearance very much, even when I was younger. Let's face it, I am not much to look at.That’s a harrowing story, HighKick. Do you think it’s an even worse experience because of the heights you were once at?

I strength train 3x's per week and still practice my martial arts albeit to a lesser degree. Since my Tuhon moved back to the west coast, I do not practice Kali nearly enough.Yes, it’s about mitigating the possible loss of mobility for me too. I do like my biceps though!
You should get a tax refund!
I’ll be waiting a long time for that £4.37 from HMRC!
What!? Wet clothes? Now you are the monster, I only beach in the buff. Swimming naked in the river or ocean is the best.
How bout a vienna sausage hammock?
At least I have the decency to be modest in my mankini.
How cold is the water???
It's your imagination. Stop what you are doing and you'll quickly discover what was working.
Oh for the stretching, learn to be relaxed when doing it. Use gentle stretching instead of the hard stretching. I recommend yoga it you have the time.
