PiYo Workout/Achilles tendinitis
30 August 2017 PiYo Workout/Achilles tendinitis I’ve had (self diagnosed) tendinitis on my right ankle since the beginning of July.

Physio – arm and buttock pain
02 March 2014 Physio – arm and buttock pain My life seems to be a catalogue of injuries… Yesterday I stubbed my right toe on someone’s leg during capoeira roda. One more reason to wear shoes – but I can’t do the movements with the same precision with shoes on!…
