I live for the day when I can afford unlimited sports massages….

True that on yoga! Whenever I’ve had an active “practice” I’ve stayed injury free…and whenever I slack off, I get more aches and pains, and even more injuries, especially muscle/tendon stuff.

These alternative treatments sound so promising – one more to add might be massage therapy. A talented therapist can do a lot to promote recovery and flexibility. But, again, fat chance with insurance coverage!
