Actually Vito, it's not as crazy as it sounds. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy is a proven therapy for fractures and there is evidence for it's use in soft tissue injuries.
I had a bone growth stimulator after my accident as my femur wasn't healing. Hard to tell how much it helped as I was non-weight bearing and that delays healing. Be aware, the magnets Vito uses are dangerously strong. Magnets of more than a few centiimeters in diameter can crush tissue and even break bones. Be very careful with pairs or getting near metal. |

What do you think about a TENS machine? I bought one at the Expo.
Be aware that cell death occurs at the application point so moderate your use long term. I had a unit while in hospital and it did nothing for me both in terms of pain relief or muscular stimulation. However, I had an enormous amount of nerve damage and it was done as a "lets try everything" kind of deal. |
Thanks for the info HC!

Hi All! I hope your day of rememberence is going well...we had a large 5k race commemorating the fallen and it was a very intense and patriotic gathering.
I ran my fastest 5k yet, but it was overshadowed by today's significant date patriotic outpouring- the race was small beans in comparison.... There was over 3,000 participants, well over the projected amount,and I managed to come in at 45th overall with a time of 21:48, but it's still kinda hard to revel over my accomplishment on such a profound day... Here's a couple of pics: http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...memberance.jpg http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...sethatdied.jpg God bless the fallen |
Congrats, I can only imagine the emotion of running that race!
|
Amazing race, gathering with people is a way to honor, whether you run, pray, sit in silence, we all honor in different ways - great time!
|
Nice way to remember the fallen.

Can't think of many races with a better cause behind it.
And nifty PR. |

sw, not to worry, even a week's down time won't affect your fitness. You will actually gain a small amount as you recover from your training.

Anyone can hold thier breath sprint for 3 miles. Let's see what a 10K does for ya. ;) |
