paul's hip flexor injury

well i got a hip flexor injury trying to do one of C.Ronaldo's tricks on a defender. The one where he cross over his foot ti cross the ball with one foot crossed behind the other.Well it is like the third week(1st Oct. '08) since i have it. i asked a therapist and he said to rest and ice it like in the second week.It has been a week icing now and it is better but not fully.

he told me i might have strained it bad so it will take long and because i let time pass before i took action. i hope it gets better. I am on the u-16 team for my college and i haven't played since the season has started in September. I hope it heals quickly. I'm gonna try ice massaging.

Paul, thanks for sharing your story. You might also try some gentle stretching of the area, as well as working on flexibility of the hamstrings and surrounding hip muscles.

There are a lot of different stretches on the website under the rehab section.

Good luck!

Bart
