leg bruising..

got upper outside leg bruising from kick conditioning and have trouble walking due to muscle pain :(
any idea roughly how long i can expect recovery time to be? and is there anything i could try that may help? cheers

How healthy you are will determine recovery time largely...

traumeel oral and topical I would recommend
Arnica if you can't get traumeel, again oral and topical..

You know I find it interesting that the Thai's don't do kick conditioning and go down the least to leg kicks...

I've never done it and never had a prob really (hurts after of course)

excellent job mark will give it a try, thanks for your reply.

You're welcome...

Eat well.lots of good fats (quality saturated fats - animal fats and coconut oil and omega 3's)

Plenty of good water.

Rest and sleep (10pm-2am) optimal time (time changes and time zones adjust a bit) for physical repair... (2am-6am psychic repair - mental/emotional etc)

Closer you get to going down and up with the sun the better...

R.I.C.E.

Give your leg a break in terms of getting hit.

Active recovery - walking (uneven terrain) etc

Mental - know your leg is fine and your body is doing its job - the pain and bruising is not bad!!!!! It is your body healing therefor a damn good thing.

Legs (in my belief system and experience) are part of the root chakra. That is related to tribal (family) safety/security (today's world largely related to money - also consider what state you are in training - any fear when getting hit/sparring/conditioning consider going lighter until you can stay in a non-fearful space).

Left side of body representative of feminine energy, right side masculine... legs often have relation to family or those close to you. If left leg consider mental and emotional stresses related to females close to you such as Mum, sisters, girlfriend/wife, daughter or someone close... right leg males...

According to Louise Hay legs can be related to moving forward in life. (I find her stuff often very good) consider any blocks, difficulties or stress related to moving forward, possibly in combination with that male or female energy.

Then obviously make some shifts in thinking and or action in any areas that are applicable.

One of the easiest and fastest tools to help any healing is Meridian Tapping Techniques(MTT)... most stem off EFT (which stems of TFT).

Either find a professional or do it your self...
Free manual down load on emofree.com (if you down load email me as it has been simplified since)

Can do MTT with a practitioner over phone... mercola.com with have links to find someone as will emofree.com.

Due to phone you can work with anyone anywhere in the world (I do that hint hint lol)

“I am a sceptic, but it is hard to be sceptical of the results I have seen. I am not sure of how it works…but it works. Two weeks after I dislocated my knee in training I spent a little over 15 minutes with Mark and my knee went from twice its normal size to almost normal. I would recommend it to anyone.”
