My first experience with Voodoo Flossing made me shake my head and say to myself, “Naw, that can’t be real.”

What appeared to be a very bad finger injury was 100% better in less than 48 hours.  I Voodoo Flossed my finger about 2 dozen times and the pain was gone, the swelling was gone.  My finger was nearly 100% recovered.    [That is NOT hyperbole.]

I was unloading my climbing gear.  As I lifted the bouldering pad off of the cargo holder, the middle finger of my right hand caught on a bungee cord. My finger bent sideways. Youch!  That sucked; and I knew it was bad.

My middle finger was already a little bit tweaked before this trip; but I still climbed my hardest.  And, during the trip, I only experienced a little bit of discomfort if I gave my finger a bit of lateral movement.  If I warmed it up, I was good.  So when my finger caught on the bungee, I knew it was going to be 10 times worse.  There was some tenderness.  There was some swelling…not another finger injury!  I thought I had ended my finger injuries!

But, luckily for me (and luckily for you), I had been reading Dr. Kelly Starrett’s book, Becoming A Supple Leopard.  Becoming A Supple Leopard is all about YOU getting your body healthy.  Dr. Kelly Starrett says that all human beings should be able to perform basic maintenance on themselves.  On pages 217-220, you will find the details of Voodoo Flossing.

Special Note:  If you are really injured, heard something pop, or your finger looks weird; go see your doctor.  

 

What is Voodoo Flossing?

Voodoo Flossing is the Compression part of the (now antiquated?) R-I-C-E (rest, ice, compression, elevation).  But what makes this compression different is that you are wrapping the joint or injury SUPER TIGHT for a short period of time.

The MOST IMPORTANT PART of Voodoo Flossing is that you SKIP THE ICE and SKIP THE NSAID’s (ibuprophen, acetamenaphine, etc.)

The physiology of Voodoo Flossing is discussed in detail in this 26-minute YouTube video with Dr. Kelly Starrett and Gary Reinl.  I encourage you to watch this video and then do your own reading and research about voodoo flossing and skipping NSAIDs and ice.
