hi aparently tickling the place where you have aches helps it is that right or wrong ?

this injury has occured about six times in the past year and i have seen the emergency room twice as a check up to make sure there was no bone damage. in my right shoulder i seem to be having bad luck with dunking the basketball because while my arm is extended i have been hit by others arms strongly. It seems to be a muscle strain/ pulled muslce but recently i had done this injury and it had seemed to get better, however i had the same problem occur twice in 9 days. I have my arm in a sling to immobilize it, but i am active and it is tought to stay inactive. i am also missing swim season and want to know what the best course of action is. I am 15 and I lead an active lifestyle. Iy hurts in my upper shoulder and through the upper part of my arm on the right side of my body. Please help! :) Thanks, Nolan

Hello,
well my left calf mucles I think by the soleus hurts! I seem to have an area that when I go over with my hand well it hurts real bad. The pain seems to activate when I run. Sometimes I couldn't even walk because of the pain. Do you know why it seems to hurt? Well thanks.

my names zeph and I have had a strained back since last summer. I just told my doctor 2 months ago. I went to physical therapy and have been doing excercises everyday for the last 2 months.

I go every morning 4 days a week.. still, nothing. what do I do. can you help me or tell me what to do??? I cant even bend over and tie my oen shoe. or get in bed by myself. it just gets worse and worse..

hi,
I pulled my groin during soccer preseason in agusut. It was well throughout the season, but in the winter everytime i played i would feel pain. Now i've been playing with my club team, but after every game i will feel pain. It's been almost 2 weeks without playin and i've been going to the whirlpool at school but now im done with classes and i just ice it. If im able to play but don't feel pain while playing and i just feel it after the game, is that bad or i just need to strenghten my left side of groin? help me im so frustrated because i really want to play

I pulled my hamstring 3 days ago during track practice while going over a hurdle. Could you give me some tips on how i can help it heal faster?

I have had Patellar Tendonitis for the past 3 years ebbing on and off is there anything I can do to sort this out as I am tired of being on and off sport.

Thank you so much for making these vids and posting them on youtube. I used the elbow pain vid and it seems to be working. My left elbow suffers excrutiating pain when I attempt to lift weights...which I have been doing for years. This started a few months ago but only in my left elbow, and the pain is on the outside of the elbow right at the tip and to the side of it. I'm going to try you nerve stretches and massage coupled with ice and I hope this releaves the pain because for the first time, it is unbearable and I had to stop my routine. Thanks again for making these.

hi i beleive i have hurt my it band i have all the symptoms and my physiotheropist said its probably it, could you make more excerises that invlove the it band please and thank you, your previous it band video was great

Hey Kristin,
First of all, thank you so much for the informative video. I have accessory navicular bones in the inner part of both of my feet. and am flexible flat footed. I sprained my left foot 5 weeks ago while playing soccer. I think the reason for it was not warming up correctly. It sure is better than it was the first day, when I had to use crutches, but I feel that my foot is not strong enough, I hear and feel cracks, and It hurts when I walk on it after sitting for a while. What can be the possible things that happened to it? I'm an inter-student and I don't have a doctor until I know that I have to go to a doctor.
