Hi all!
Still struggling with the back injury, muscles going into spasm occasionally is causing the biggest problem! I am going to start some running tonight, as I think it would be best to start a bit of exercise, and I can't stop watching the hawaii highlights and its driving me nuts!
anyway, back to the question, has anyone had any experience of sports massage? I live close by to a sports injury clinic, offering acupuncture, massage etc. But at a considerable price. I am willing to pay it if it will speed my recovery! So any experiences people have had will help!
Thanks, Tommy T

Its a form of massage you can do yourself with a foam roller.
Being tight i've been using a bromm handle with insulating foam over it and seems to do a job on legs?
May work for backs.
Also heard of a similar thing and using a tennis ball.
Glad you like the hawaii links the song is guru josh infinity - must download it - i've been watching the highlights on the turbo!!

Go for it!
I had back muscle spasm last year and got that sorted at a chiropractor. Hurt like hell, when she jumped on my hip and I resisted it, was ok when I relaxed. What both of the practitioners did do though was recommend exercises that would help sort and prevent the injuries I had. In fact, the chiropractor sorted out my lower back spasm, and some really knotted back and shoulder muscles sorted themselves when my lower back was sorted.
Some people swear by acupuncture, I'm sceptical as all the research I've seen seems to indicate it's no better than a placebo. I have had a personal recommendation from a friend who got his back sorted with acupuncture after months of failed physio. The physio worked for me though so I didn't need to test my faith..
both the physio and chiropractor charged my £35 a session, which I think is reasonable, but it does add up.
