However, this year we didn’t fly out of town, and I’m still feeling miserable. My mother was never one to buy over-the-counter medication, let alone see the doctor […]

ZUKI Muscle Roller for muscle pain relief

Since I started taking Taekwondo classes and dance classes, my body has been sore. Not just the “I’ve been working out” type sore, but also the “I’m getting older” type pains.
