I honestly think that the pain I was in affected my game and sub consciously I was protecting the injury and therefore not fully committing to shots. So far there has been no deterioration and because of playing pain free I am playing better and returning lower scores. I have deliberately left posting this review until now as I wanted to see how things went. The relief was immediate, what had been a stiff and sore joint was relieved and the following day I played my first round of pain free golf for a few weeks. Near the end Marika had a look at the troublesome wrist and after a good search around concluded that the source of my pain was from the top of the muscle just below the inner elbow and proceeded to treat and manipulate the area. Marika delivered the massage in her usual highly professional manner with comments about my back muscles and a reminder to “sit up straight” and not tuck my legs under my bum when watching television on the sofa as “your body was not built to do that Colin!” I also mentioned the wrist problem FOR which Marika offered some advice on what might help, said that she would see what she could do via massage but advised that if it continued a visit to the GP may be required. I booked in for a sixty-minute massage and asked for a general check over of the muscles.

There was nothing major although I was bothered by a sore wrist joint that I thought was being caused by the repetitive strain of hitting golf balls on the damper, heavier ground of September and October and if things did not improve a lay off to rest the injury would be needed. I had not visited Marika since the lifting of lockdown restrictions, as usual life had got in the way and the novelty of a ten-day holidays plus golf and fishing getaways meant that I was away for various periods and when I was not household matters took priority.Īutumn is the time when my body starts to demand its annual MOT and service with aches and pains becoming more apparent due to cooler damper conditions. 27.10.21 Review of MARIX THERAPY Marix Therapy visit.
