Highett FC Head Trainer appraises 2009 performance of Dr Wheatgrass

This year the trainers at the Highett Football Club used Dr Wheatgrass products as our first choice of treatment for  the following conditions. We mainly used Dr Wheatgrass cream and Dr Wheatgrass Spray.

Blisters.

This year we started a practice of using Dr Wheatgrass spray, cream, and Spenco Second Skin for treating blisters. On game day we used Dr Wheatgrass spray & Second Skin to cover the blister, and during the week the player would use Dr Wheatgrass cream. We found that this would clean up and heal the skin within a couple of weeks.

Blood Nose.

Dr Wheatgrass cream was applied up the player’s nose and bleeding would stop soon after. It was interesting that after the cream was applied the player was able to return to the field and not have any more bleeding.

Lacerations.

Dr Wheatgrass cream was applied to all lacerations immediately to stop bleeding. Once bleeding had stopped, which was in about a minute, the wound was cleaned, more Dr Wheatgrass cream applied, and the laceration covered so the player could return to the field. No player was sent off after this treatment because of the blood rule.

Soft tissues injuries.

This year most of the massage was done using Dr wheatgrass cream. and Promax. Also we started a practice that if a player wanted ice on an injury, Dr Wheatgrass cream was applied first. Towards the end of the season we noticed a number of players were only requesting Dr Wheatgrass cream.

Joint injuries.

This year all joint injuries were treated with Dr wheatgrass cream, especially sprained ankles.  It appears that by applying Dr Wheatgrass cream that there is not as much swelling as I would have expected and that the players was out for a shorter length of time.

Thank you for your products and support through out the year, and we look forward to the next season.
