anyone else suffering thru these?

i stopped running since the summer, but after playing drums thru the winter, i'm starting to get 'em, and FYI, i've NEVER had 'em before!

ice is effective after you play, about 12 minutes on the effectived area
stretch is best before playing, i find Active Isolated Stretching by Aaron Mattes (physiotherapist) which is shorter peiods of stretch (2 seconds per stretch X sets of 10) with good exhalation of breath is the most effective way to stretch for many reasons!
a proper deep tissue massage (rolfing, connective tissue therapy) will probably correct the problem
ice and stretches keep it from coming back
