Footbag Doctors

Post by enhancement »

I am not sure if this is true with all doctors, but everytime I go to one they all seem to laugh at me when I say I injured myself playing hacky 8O Also I have found out that there is a common muscle I am not sure if is just around west auckland, but there is a muscle that the players here have developed. Its on the outside of the leg at the bottom just above the ankle. It is like a bump or bruise, and the doctor said its unusual. But yeah is it just NZ or do all doctors not know what footbag is 8O

That is so true! When I tore my ACL skateboarding, the doctors asked what type of activities I'd be doing after therapy, so they would know the best approach to take during therapy to prepare me for those activities. I mentioned that I play footbag, and then had to explain it to them, and then they kind of laughed it off and told me that I'd be fine and were there any real sports that I would be playing.

If you really go round examining all the guys legs in your crew, then I am somewhat worried Shane ;)

Thats the clipper muscle.

It makes clippers happen.

Ever notice it gets tired doing repeating clippers?

Thats because you use it.

Bob and I can do way more than average weight on a leg curl machine. I bet John can too but I haven't seen him do it. I've wondered if that was coincidence or not.

For sure ;)...

One thing that suprized me though was back when I used
to to tons of (one-sided) dragons... It developes a muscle
that few other moves really work (I don't know what it's
called, but it's the lower one of the two smaller muscles on
the outside of the lower leg between the calf and the um...
muscle that cranks your toes up - Okay, so I never
studied anatomy :P).

Peace.
