I am a dance professor as well as run our own gym.
I labor with adolescents of all ages, teaching them strange gymnastic skills.
It is our job to not only help them advance however keep them safe as they attempt more difficult maneuvers. In order to effectively spot them, I am diligent about our own level of fitness, however, some injuries are unavoidable. About a year ago, I was spotting a class of teenaged ladies as they performed round-off back handSprings. One of the ladies unexpectedly veered off course. I needed to over-extend our body to guide her movement as well as ensure her safety. I felt a slight twinge in our upper right leg, however didn’t assume anything of it; Later that evening, the pain escalated, as well as I realized that I’d torn our psoas muscle. This muscle extends from the buttocks, down the leg, all the way to the knee. The pain was excruciating. It hurt to sit, to walk or lie down, and standing was barely tolerable. I couldn’t drive, labor or even sleep correctly. I am lucky that I already had a valid medical mairjuana card. I’d gotten it because of occasional bouts of insomnia as well as migraines. This allowed myself and others to shop at the dispensary for plant-based pain relieving remedies. I purchased a combination of cannabis-infused ointments, roll-ons, tinctures as well as bath bombs. The bath bomb was especially helpful. Along with cannabis, the bath bomb contained epsom salts as well as essential oils such as eucalyptus. The sizzling water helped to open our pores as well as accelerate the absorption of cannabinoids such as CBD as well as CBN.
