Wheatgrass At Work

Yes. I actually discussed this with a physical fitness trainer for the local football club. He admitted that he was not aware of any research to back up the use of ice in treating sporting injuries. However, , I could tell that he thought the wheatgrass solution was "too good to be true" - but he did agree to give Superbalm a try, so at least he was open minded enough to give it a go. I know you come across this all the time. It must be very frustrating.

Without doubt the proof lies in the pudding. You need to try it on your own injury and see for yourself what it can do. On the other hand, last AFL season in May when I began as club doctor for the Caloundra Panthers, there were numerous soft tissue injuries, and ice was the only "treatment" used. The Head Trainer and I began using the wheatgrass gel and the cream on these injuries and they all quickly cleared up. They included hamstrings, osteitis pubis and various other problems. By the end of the season, the players themselves were shunning ice and asking for wheatgrass. A similar phenomenon occurred at the Highett Footbal Club in Melbourne. They had a "wheatgrass year" and went through the whole season virtually without ice and no soft tissue injuries worthy of pulling them from the team. That's not bad for something that is "too good to be true."
