Rugby is described in the coaching manuals as a collision sport (one moving object or person striking violently against another)
a game of colliding vehicles..
Oh.., I'd like to see that again..!
Trauma like this on the body takes its toll. Many people out there wonder why athletes put themselves through such punishment. But the truth is, sitting at your desk all day with bad posture or working in a repetitive factory/manual lifting job will, over time, do the same damage to your body as a collision sport.
While professional athletes have the best medical/physical therapy support staff and are in the practice of recovery training often just hours after their games, nothing comes close to daily self myofascial release to help their bodies to overcome traumas like these. The same holds true for everyone suffering from muscle pain and stiffness.
