The swift motion pulled a muscle in her lower back. Thanks to a recent class at F.I.R.E. (Florida Intense Rope Experience) , we knew to ice the area instead of using heat, thank you Miss Doctor. However, the pain was bad enough that there were tears from a woman I’ve never seen cry before. 12 hours later, several bags of ice and ibuprofen every 6 hours, the pain is less but still there. It took almost 3 days for the pain to fully subside and luckily there was no permanent injury.
As I quote my instructor, “In this lifestyle, it’s not if you’ll get hurt but when”.
