Chris:

Avoid sneezing.

Otherwise, rest and visit a sauna, if ye have such sophisticated things in deepest Gloucestershire. There, ye can jump from hot steam to cold bath and back again, all the while frantically massaging the groin. Be sure not to give anyone the wrong impression while you are under the water, though.

I've been thinking about homeopathy - if the more diluted you make the active ingredient the stronger it becomes? Then surely taking none if it would be even more effective? ;D

I'm down with herbalism, but homeopathy (with all due respect to people who have had success with it) is just bollocks ;)

(Note the smiley - I don't have the medical training or even the desire to get into a debate on flavoured water :) )

The upside of connection training (i guess!) is that i am on the mend already ;) way less pain already and a greater range of movement starting to happen so happy with that. Still need to be strict though ....

Now all that needs to be avoided is slipping over in the snow in some sort of comedic fashion re stretching it and looking a complete tool in the process!

Many thanks one and all for the advice.

Andy, I have the 'frantic groin massaging' down to a t! now to hit the gym and do it in the sauna.... :D

Cheers Squire.

The training is bitter but the results are sweet. You pour out your muddiness in sweat and gain purity of spirit and qi.

Arnica gel is not a homeopathic remedy, it is a real remedy with active agents in it.

I have used arnica for many a bruise. Great stuff actually. Didn't know it was good for torn muscles.

Cheers
