T’s Appointment (5/5/2020)

T had an appointment with the Chiropractor today. He had knocked his hip out of alignment last week during one of his training sessions. We found that out today at the adjustment. We had not clue the hip was involved. At any rate the hip being out put a strain on his groin muscle which in turn strained his thigh muscle in two places. Our Chiropractor believes in laser therapy and so do we. We saw how it really helped T in October with a similar strain on that same muscle. We are working on helping him realize what it is he’s doing/not doing that causes this to happen so we can try to head this off so that there’s not a next time with this particular injury. Little kids tend to have bad habits though that they have to overcome and having bad habits as an athlete means you’ve got to fix the problem so it doesn’t happen in the future. We are fortunate in that time is on our side right now with this Covid-19 stay at home order in place and the fact that there are no urgent upcoming tournaments to attend. T is chomping at the bit to get back to training though but the doc said that maybe next Thursday T can get back to training and that will all be dependent on how he responds to the laser therapy sessions. Right now he wants him to rest and recover. He has three more laser therapy sessions between now and next Thursday. Praying he respond well to all the treatments and bounces back quickly like he did last time.  Here’s a pic of him pointing at the area where he is feeling the pain:
T will be 12 on Monday and his thighs are pure muscle and they aren’t much smaller than his dads😳.
