Knee - yes again sorry

[Sharla]

That's cool Shamrock - I sometimes go back to my own old post to re-read them since I often pick up things at a deeper level more later than I could when i first Qed people. There are a lot of very helpful people here too!

I don't really have any consistant problem with my knee anymore. I have to be careful with my back because when that gets bad eveything falls apart.

I do think that all of my problems arose when I was trying to balance heavy training with a heavy uni workload and I was finding it stressful. Obviously there were a lot of other factors but that stress is always going to mess with your recovery and it will weaken you.

I think it's a continuing lesson on how to best look after yourself and it's not as simple as some people will assume. I think it's no suprise though that a lot of people will assume age has to hold you back from being active more than it really has to.

I think it takes a lot to learn how to balance things and to look after yourself - many years of practice - but if you know that you can continue to improve those skills you can then also be in better shape in old age than you otherwise would have thought was realistic.

BTW TM - what is electro-stim? Is it one of those machines when you put little pads on yourself and they pass an electric current through you? I've got one but stupidly not really taken the time to sit down and learn all the different trigger points etc so I don't think I've learnt to use it properly!

Liked the joke too Andre but I have to spread it around before I can rep you for it!
