on the mend

during some down time yesterday, I googled what to do when you've strained your Iliopsoas muscles. Want to know what your Iliopsoas muscles are? Here ya go, thanx wikipedia:

Iliopsoas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to:navigation, search

Iliopsoas
Anterior hip muscles. (Psoas minor not pictured.)
Latin	musculus iliopsoas
Gray's	subject #127 467
Origin	iliac fossa, spine
Insertion	lesser trochanter of femur
Artery	medial femoral circumflex artery, iliolumbar artery
Nerve	femoral nerve, L1, L2
Actions	flexion of hip
Antagonist	Gluteus maximus, posterior compartment of thigh

The term Iliopsoas refers to the combination of three muscles:

• psoas major
• psoas minor
• iliacus

These muscles are distinct in the abdomen, but usually indistinguishable in the thigh. As such, they are usually given a common name and are referred to as the "dorsal hip muscles"^[1] or "inner hip muscles"^[2].

Anyhoo..I found this:

• R: rest
• I: ice
• C: compress
• E: elevate
• R: referall

So I rested it by rescheduling my next personal training session, I got me some icy hot, rocked ou a heating pad on both leggies, and elevated it. Getting a massage today and I have to say that I feel much better. Yay for me b/c I was super pissed that I had some how managed to injure myself whilst training. I think actually the injury came from being stretched out afterwards..but anyhoo..I'm feeling 100% better yesterday. And am rocking a new scent that I like to call, "Eau de IcyHotFru".
