Glad my comment was helpful, but you know yourself best! I wish I could do muscle testing, but I live alone and don’t know anybody who’s familiar with it.

Good luck Evelyn!! I hope you feel 100 % soon. I’ve tried both, and I think snow skiing is definitely harder on the body, than water skiing. Kudos to you for trying challenging sports! And I hope you feel good enough to have some fun on the snow.

Wow! After reading all the comments here you sure have a whole arena of healers showing up here. That is so awesome. Funny my left knee has bugging me lately?
It reminds me of a burnt out I had in dance many tears ago.
I think alot of what the skier talked about to you. And some of the emotional is also about what comes up just as it should when you feel pain somewhere that you don’t want to loose. Its normal and not the driving force in my opinion here. But loosening up when your a beginner of a sport is something to be mindful of here. I am advocate of listening to your pain its not something you should ignore.Often we minimize when we shouldn’t. Be safe this vacation and have fun. Hope it works out for you and the healing takes place so you can have some beginner fun on the slopes.

Hi Evelyn,

Wow! Sorry about your knees. When I was reading I was surprised you said it hurt. I hate needles but I chose to try accupuncture and massage plus inflamotories for a pain I had in my elbow and forarm and down to my fingers. The doctor wnated shoot me up with cortisone since exrays showed nothing. My massage therapist said AI had a shortened wuscle from the type of work I do, painting. So I did two sessions and continued massage therapy. Deep tissue massage now there some pain involved in that at least for my injury. I quit the imflamatory drugs and no longer needed pain meds.Oh and by the way it didn’t hurt at all and I did electric therapy with the accupuncture. The injury wasn’t completely over though I reduced use of it. Then I started yoga and I healed the rest of the way. Though it is a chronic issue I have to keep up with it and pay attention. jeeze this sure got long. I personally believe its all connecred: mind, body and soul.

Hope you get well and heal. Sometimes rest is all that helps then its time to work on it. Take care of yourself!
Keep us posted on your progress.

Love and healing,
Diane

I learned during my Reiki training that we hold our “death issues” in our knees…

Hi, I enjoyed your post and wanted to let you know. I’m still recovering from my shoulder surgery, getting better every day, but still have difficulty typing for long periods of time.

peace,

@Mark, thanks for sharing. Your story reminds me on how I’ve often faced difficulty when picking up a new hobby or interest to eventually liking it!! Perhaps….I may love snow skiing too!!

@Juliet, welcome to my site It’s great that you have training in Kinesiology! I use EFT and muscle testing very frequently!!

@Real Julie, most of my fears are more of an illusion than real. I definitely can relate to the idea that too much resistance can create knee problems. Thanks for sharing!!

@Lance, I’m sure that as a sportsman, you’d know much about how the physical and emotional are inter-linked. Thanks for your well wishes!!

@Tom, I didn’t realize that you use EFT!! Awesome! I’m not sure why you said that I am “obviously not shy about using any method”. Er…am I supposed to be shy and why so? I like the idea of putting myself up for experiment and see where each path or strategy takes me!!

Seems like there is often an emotional disturbance beneath the physical hurt. You obviously are not shy about using any method. I wish you fast healing. Never used acupuncture but I use EFT almost daily.

Good luck Evelyn (you’ll do fine!).

I’ve never tried acupuncture. However, I do believe that negative emotions can affect our physical bodies. When I feel strong and confident, my body usually operates that way also (except for something unplanned). When I’m unsure of myself, I likewise, struggle physically… So, I think it’s definitely truea about negative emotions.

Thank you for sharing Evelyn. I love your blog, very inspiring. I have been reluctant to try acupuncture, but grew up tearing up the slopes since I was little. One reason a lot of people experience knee pain from skiing is resistance. I learned how to telemark from a man in his 70′s and he told me that too many resist the mountain and all it has to offer, then your knees take a beating because your are tense, fearful, and you knees are unforgiving. If you let go of your fears, your legs acts as shocks and just bounce through the mountain and your knees enjoy the ride!
