No fancy greetings this morning. Today, we jump right into the good news.
I mentioned before that it was recommended I try yoga as a way to alleviate my knee pain. After two days of using yoga, my IT Band brace and icing the knee, I’m happy to report that the triple whammy seems to be working!
I had success the first time using the IT Band brace during a gentle 5K run on Sunday. During our warm ups for karate on Monday, we coincidentally got into a few yoga poses for stretching – butterfly, Warrior one, etc. We focused on the hamstrings, quads and glutes and I honestly felt great afterwards (especially after the butterfly stretch which traditionally I’ve avoided due to my lack of flexibility).
