Trigger points in the adductor Magnus muscle.
The adductor Magnus muscle is the largest muscle on the inside of the thigh. It originates on the pubis and ischial tuberosity, and inserts on the femur. It acts on the hip joint causing addiction. The anterior fibres also help flex the hip while the posterior fibres assist in hip extension. Trigger points are common in this muscle in athletes such as hockey and soccer players. When trigger points develop they refer pain into the anterior inner thigh. Trigger points in the upper portion of the muscle refer pain deep within the pelvis. 
Chiropractic and Headaches
Yet another study has found that chiropractic care helps headache sufferers: Spinal manipulation seems to have a significant positive effect in reducing hours with headache and intensity of headache and analgesic consumption in cases of cervicogenic headache.

When Should I get A New Mattress?
The age and quality of your mattress have a major impact on how you feel. A worn-out mattress can certainly contribute to back and neck problems. Most experts agree that traditional mattresses should be replaced every 5-8 years.
Should Women Lift Weights?
Of course they should.
Women are often afraid to lift weights for fear they will look too “bulky”, but actually
that’s not what happens.
Women can and should do weight lifting exercises if they want to shed body fat and achieve a toned physique. Strength training 30 to 40 minutes twice a week for 4 months, could increase an average woman’s resting metabolism by 100 calories a day, meaning you’ll be burning calories even when you’re not exercising. Weight training will also improve bone density, overall strength, fitness and is a great stress reducer.
Anyone telling a woman she shouldn’t lift weights because she’ll get “Too bulky and look like a man” has no idea what they’re talking about. Period.
A horrible event to wake up to.
My friends and I have spent countless hours on buses zigzagging from one small town to the next as part of Jr. hockey teams. This tragedy hits hard as a result. I can’t shake the image of a team full of guys, on their way to battle a rival in the playoffs, relaxing, shooting the shit, chirping each other about last game, talking girls and the NHL when the unthinkable happens.
These guys were and are hockey guys.
Hockey guys are a different breed. Tough, loyal, hardworking and a joy to be around. The men who have had the biggest influence on me are hockey guys. My Dad, Trigger, Pop, countless coaches and teammates. My son is a hockey guy, my best friends are hockey guys.
As hockey parents we imagine sending our sons away to ride these buses. Imagine them chasing their dreams as we did before them. We hope they’ll be safe, make life long friendships and become men along the way. That was taken from the Broncos last night and it breaks my heart.
These hockey guys need our help now. Their families, friends, billets and fans need our help. I don’t have a big following or a pulpit through which to bring attention to what happened. Many others do and are making the world aware of the tragedy that Humboldt and all of the hockey world woke up to. What I do have is a cheque book and I’ll use that to help how I can.
If you’re a prayer guy, please pray for these kids and all who know them. If not, save a spot to think of them today. If you’re able, please try and support them financially a little bit to help them through this unthinkable time in their lives.
