Subject: RE: Need recommendations on doc for running injuries Originally posted by Mike_D ...Did NYC Tri yesterday and it was just brutal on the run. Knife in the leg kind of pain. Not good. MD Well, perhaps you did such damage now as to really need a doctor, but what are you really expecting him to do? I'd start with rest, foam roller, self or professional massage to break up the scar tissue as it heals. Active recovery- i.e. water running, perhaps cycling. doing something to keep it moving, but that doesn't hurt it more. perhaps just go right to a sports physical therapist. you need to heal, and a doctor can't just heal you. here's an interesting little article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/01/fashion/01best.html?pagewanted=all |
