I am a competitive school gymnast, however the sport takes a lot of labor on our body, however i am constantly using our legs, wrists, ankles and back.
I have daily pain due to how strenuous I push it.
I can’t take a morning off and recover. I need to stay on top of our game. I do ice baths, icy hot, heating pads and massages, occasionally that isn’t enough. I found a game changer for me, however a topical at the cannabis dispensary near me has helped so much; Yes, it is technically a cannabis product. It is a cream that is applied directly to the skin. It doesn’t contain THC and gets me high. It also doesn’t affect our mind at all. The CBD stays at the surface level. I can guess a numbing, cooling sensation when I use it. That is it. It is amazing to have on hand. Anytime I have a recognizably strenuous morning, I slather myself in the cream. I apply it every night on our back and neck though. If I miss a morning, I notice it in the morning. I guess tight and prefer it could cramp, however what is especially nice is that I now have a medical weed card. I can get our cannabis product anytime I need it and I am allowed to store it at the school. I prefer the aroma and that it doesn’t apply grease either. I have advocated the topic to all our fellow gymnasts on the team… Pretty soon most people is going to be a medical weed patient just for that topical.
