Tight. Golf. Swing?

Sorry for such a long break between posts; the holiday and busy life caught up with me not to mention the Sprain Recovery I am still going through. Almost out of the woods on that, thank goodness!!! I have been dealing with this for long enough in my book. That being said;

Today’s topic: Joint Aches and Pain.

Sounds like such a motivational topic. Gosh, I bet you jumped up in your chair for that sentence. Ha.

Obviously, I sprained my ankle in March, so I have had a lot of joint issues. For instance, my joint was extremely tight the first time I went to see my physical therapist (ok it still has the tendency to be tight all the time). She laughed at how tight it was; I am an over achiever apparently. I struggle with keeping my ankle moving while at work since I sit at a desk for most of my nine hours of job time. Add to that how busy I am and I tend to forget those exercises that are supposed to help keep my ankle motion flexible. My fault all around I know.

It is why I got so excited when I seen that It Works offered a product that was supposed to help with my joints!! I thought finally a way to break through this struggle. I have not tried Relief YET, but it is next on my list. After I had written it off that is, let me explain why I had done that. So, Relief is supposed to promote healthy and flexible joints as well as strengthening the cartilage in the joints. Sounds awesome, right? I thought so. Plus this is great for all the golfers out there who tend to put a lot of motion and repeated stress on their joints. Which is why my dad was willing to give it a try. He is an avid golfer. Like goes every weekend once the snow melts, or to the heated stalls in the winter to hit golf balls type of golfer (he don’t mess around). I was excited to see how it would work for him that way I could get it too improve my ankle function. Well at the end of his 30 day supply he said he didn’t feel any different. To say I was bummed wouldn’t be accurate. I was totally hoping this was going to at least do something even it is was minuscule. I was prepared to write a meh review for Relief; I actually had it written up and was waiting to post it… 

I am kinda glad that I had waited to post it since a couple days later (possibly a week) he asked me to re-order it for him. I asked why since it didn’t work in his book. As it turns out my dad has a heel that bothers him often well, it didn’t bother him while he was taking the Relief. I have witnessed him gimp around when it bothers him. I can honestly say I haven’t seen him do that since he got Relief back into his daily routine. This gives me hope that there is more to this sucker than I originally thought. I am ready to take the test to see if it will work out the same for me and give me some mobility back that I have lost. 

All you golfers, sprain recovers, or athletes out there who are having joint pain, you may want to ask me how to get back that flexibility. I have the stuff for you!

Blessings,
