INVITE EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

“For the past week or so, my right elbow’s been bothering me while training-no specific moment I can remember when I injured it, not even sure I did it while playing Capoeira-but I do know that every time I bring my game to the ground for a queda de rins or even something as simple as a finta de apanhada, troca, e role, I feel a little more tentative than usual as I plant my hand on the floor and let the weight of my body transmit up to the elbow.   I know many Capoeiristas train through injuries like this:  ignoring that nagging feeling that something is wrong- not wrong enough to stop you from training, but enough to prevent you from the playing the game you want to play.  This month, we’ll discuss elbow injuries, both acute and subacute-to-chronic.  In part I, we’ll discuss basics of anatomy as well as recognition and management of some important acute conditions.  In Part II, I’ll give you an anatomic approach to the diagnosis of long-standing injuries.  I’ll also touch on some basics of rehabilitation and injury prevention.”

“The wrist, like the elbow and shoulder, is another joint we depend on for adding that extra axe to the Capoeira game.  We use our wrists for stability during queda de rins, aus, bananeira–essentially all floor movements performed in a benguela roda.  I think any Capoeirista would confess to a little bit of pain or at least soreness in the wrists after doing repetitions of queda de rins, or crossing the floor in bananeira (as my Profesor often makes us do in class!).  The trick is to recognize the symptoms and signs of a wrist injury that is more worrisome than just a minor strain or sprain.  Certain wrist injuries may cause serious problems down the line for you if not appropriately addressed.  I’ll focus the discussion of acute injuries on issues that you may not seek immediate medical treatment for, but that may cause you significant pain or disability down the line if you don’t see a physician or other qualified medical professional for diagnosis and management.  The second part of the discussion, as per the usual format, will focus on injuries that cause repetitive, recurrent, or chronic pains that interfere with your game.”
