Just wanted to mention something that has made it possible for me to keep going when I pull a bad muscle or wrench my hip too far. QiVantage.com has saved me on more than one occasion with their Recovery Paste. I'm totally not affiliated with them. I just happened to find them when I pulled my hamstring on a high front snap kick and couldn't walk for 3 months. I had tried everything else I could find (heat, ice, Icy Hot, Bengay, ibuprofen, etc) with no help and then I tried the QiVantage paste for 5 days and my hamstring was completely cured. I injure myself all the time in class (cuz I'm a klutz) and every time the paste or the cream helps me recover faster. Best of luck to you and keep kicking!Jessicanoreply@blogger.com
