A new form of fixing the body to me, or undiscovered.
'Real' not alternative
Doesn't seem to have an exact name, perhaps Sports Massage
I discovered this guy, Hayden via the other half.
She has all sorts of pain from her various problems rooted or not in ME and works wonders on her.
He has sorted out my knee, calves, back and shoulders.
What I find surprising but can see the logic in is that he often works on the muscles that are not in but connect in some way to where you think the problem is.
If you are anywhere near Sunnginhill in Berkshire you can take advantage of him directly.
If not someone who does what he does could very well sort out your problem/s
He takes Pilates lessons which is how Sally found him.
She was having difficulty so he did a massage session on her that was a revelation and continues to be.
I was previously dismissive of Pilates, yoga with a different name I thought.
Seems pretty good to me, working on the core and different muscles
Edit
I said Surrey previously, I meant Berkshire. It's just over the border

Best moved to Off Topic, Mike?
I keep saying to Ruth that we must get our act together and do pilates. I need it!

I agree about the core muscle bit.
I've recently started a bit of Pilates using a DVD featuring Darcy Busslell.
Even the warm up exercises are difficult to me as a beginner.

Core muscles are essential for back support also posture can really help
I think with back issues different things work with different people
With anything like Pilates good warm up and warm down are essential to protecting the muscles
I also think stuff like Tai Chi can be good this is a clip of a 75 year old woman What I like its not putting any strain on the muscles and keeping things subtle

I'd do that if I didn't do yoga or had more time |

Interesting.
Have you heard of Kinesiology? It works on muscle connections with the lymph system. You have more lymph than blood in you and lymph nodes are important. Marie is into all that, even trained as a Kinesiologist but she mostly does Reflexology now. That can relax me like nothing else...
Kinesiology tape the sports people apply is of questionable real effect, but they all seem to use it when they have problems with muscles, tendons etc...
Me I do the Matt Roberts training programme (personal trainer to the rich and famous), of warm up and back care/core and abdominal routine every day and every other day his Peripheral Heart Action Training, PHA for short, that keeps me fit for daily life and cycling / tennis playing. I can run around with the best them there 20 and 30 year olds on a tennis court and still, and teach most of them a thing or too:)

I not tried Kinesology but had acupuncture, moxicombustion cranial, shiatsu and reflexology. For me they do slightly different things but all have helped with my back from time to time

I've done Pilates for ages. As noted above well good for keeping yer back in shape. Develops the pelvic muscles which support the lower part of yer back.
Doesn't really feel like exercise either!

I think doing something yourself is vital. 'd be a mess without the yoga and the cycling keeps the aerobic and some stamina thing going. Just when the body fails in some way I like the option to get it fixed, especially when there is real pain involved - plus get some tips on keeping it working |

Loads and loads of weed is pretty good for pain relief also.

We print for Pharma companies and have had formulas of that going to the agency for potential licence. (Not for smoking)
From what I have read smoking it can dull the pain but give you other problems. Can't remember what they were
Main thing for me is the exercises and our man sorting out the bits I have out of order.

I find tennis gives the kind of mind and body exercise I need.
Moving in all directions/mobility required keeps all core muscles in trim, is great aerobic exercise (well singles is, I only play doubles as a last resort), and it's a game where you have to use your brain to figure out how to beat your opponent, esp when the chips are down. The longest match I've had this year was 2hrs 45mins. Even with a few secs rest each end change it is damn good exercise and we were at it hammer and tongs all the way...
You also get the winning (modern day equivalent to hunting), that is the part that's missing for me with gym, running, cycling etc. There you are just pounding out it feels to me.
I do try to cycle to all my matches too though.
Changing my life style from office man to more exercise, stand up job and regular cycling/ tennis, has meant the aches and pains I was suffering, particularly repeated agonizing lumbago episodes several times a year (I slipped a disc back in 2000), are completely a thing of the past!
But I have to put the hours in...
Oh well, time to get up and do the exercise:)

Besides being useless at tennis my knee/s could not take it.
Enjoyed squash, but again the knees
Finding recently my shoulder problem may be made worse by the cycling so I am changing position more
Office and car are not the best way and I'm also glad I changed

Yes. Know what you mean. I had some discomfort returning to the game. Strengthening exercises and play saw me hang up the knee strap after a couple of months. Knees better than ever. Still have to be a little considerate as I'm no spring chicken these days, but I can run rings around most 30 something's, an indeed the odd 20 something I play. Tennis is a great leveller;)
