Quality Cancelled: Thank Goodness for Mama-sans!!

May 14th, 2008

Thank goodness for Mama-sans!! I was hurtin today, so decided to take it easy, and jog the kinks out. I was still hurting after my jog, and spoke to one of the kids’ Mom who is a masseuse. She gave me a massage right there on the spot. My wife and Reiko were there watching. The first thing she checked was my balance. She said it was really bad. She showed them that my left leg was longer than my right (I already was told that by the chiropractor, so no surprise there). She hit places my chiropractor never does. It felt so good to have her work those neglected areas. When she was done, she checked my alignment again, and showed my wife and Reiko the difference. Both legs were even now! There was a three inch difference when she started, and she fix it. I wanted to ask where she works so I could make an appointment, but it was getting late, and she was in a hurry. She said it may be because of running the same direction on the track so much. She’s probably right.

I told Hase how messed up my alignment was, and how much difference she had made. I asked him, “Why does this happen?”

He said, “Bo-Tai-So, yatteru?” (are you doing the bo exercises?)

I said, “NO!” and immediately I realized that I had forgotten all about Bo-Tai-So. Bo-Tai-So is the core of FreeRun training.  It is a set of bo exercises that strengthen the body’s core and alignment.

I know what I need to do.
