Tentative plans for the 1990 cruise call for an exciting and enchanting tour of the western Caribbean. The cruise will last seven days and will include stops at four or five of the most interesting ports of call in the region. Participating in a bowling league sounds like a fun, tame pastime for the winter months. Well, consider this: Over 17,000 bowling injuries occurred in 1986 that were severe enough to require hospital emergency-room attention. "Bowling is considered a recreational sport, and its injuries are often played down,” states Lewis A. Yocum, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon, in the Physician and Sportsmedicine. Crushed toes and slipped disks aside, however, most bowling injuries are lesser ailments due to Guests will fly from their home cities to Miami, Fla., where they will board a luxurious ship featuring a wide variety of recreational activities, a seemingly endless supply of delicious food, and an attentive and friendly staff. Although no dates have been finalized, cruise organizers say the trip will most likely take place at the end of April. As with this year’s successful cruise, next year’s cruise will offer members their choice of two price For Your Health simple overuse, says Lt. Gregg Ziemke, P.T., the assistant director of physical therapy at the U.S. Naval Hospital in San Diego. The injuries are most likely to strike amateur bowlers who compete in two or more leagues a week, says Dr. Yocum, and they are especially likely to haunt the bowler who does little else to categories, with both inside and outside cabins available. The response to this year’s cruise from those who sailed with the Association was overwhelmingly favorable. "This cruise was my third, and by comparison, it was the most enjoyable due to the friendly William Penn members present and the great fellowship that existed. Lots of fun, laughter, and now, pleasant memories,” said keep fit. Here are bowling’s top hazards and some tips for sparing them: Bowler’s elbow It’s similar to tennis elbow and is caused "by the rotation of the forearm in the bowler who tries to put too much curve on the ball,” says Ziemke. Treatment should include rest, icing the injured area and an anti-inflammatory painkiller such as aspirin. Beyond that, a wrist stabilizer or elbow brace, plus changing to a form that strives less for spin, may be recommended. Bowler’s wrist Similar to bowler’s elbow except that pain occurs at the wrist. Treatment, as with elbow pain, should include rest, ice, antiinflammatory medication and possibly a stabilizing brace plus a change to a less twisting bowling technique. Bowler’s thumb The problem here usually is damage to nerves caused by the weight of the ball on the base of COOK BOOK HUNGARIAN SPECIALTIES and OTHER FAVORITES Net proceeds to benefit the William Penn Association Scholarship Foundation DONATION: $5.00/copy Send check or money order to: WILLIAM PENN SCHOLARSHIP FUND P.O.

Surgery may be required in severe cases, but usually more conservative treatment can bring relief. Beveling the edge of the ball’s thumbhole can lessen trauma to the thumb, as can using a ball whose thumbhole is closer to its finger holes. Padding the thumbhole or using a thumb guard also can help. Preventative Steps Physical therapist Doug E. Conroy adds that being in shape can help keep bowlers out of the injury gutter. For protection of the knees and back, Conroy advises: • some types of aerobic exercise on a regular basis; • keeping body weight down; • doing about 10 minutes of stretching prior to bowling — maneuvers for the legs and lower back, especially; and • watching for early signs of injury, such as burning or tingling sensations that persist. *Reprinted with permission from Body Bulletin, Rodale Press, 33 E.
