The Physio

Okay, back from the physio. I dont know whether to be happy that the pain isnt in my mind, or sad that I still have more work to do... I think I'll go with the former, it sounds more positive. Speaking of positive, its not a return of the dreaded itb, but probably brought on by previous problem with my knee; very tight calf muscles, so I'm twisting in the wrong places and accordingly a knot of muscles right at the top of my leg/hip. We went through all the old exercises I use to/still do and she has given me some more that will target the areas directly and strengthen, the previous exercises (she says) were a lot of stretching which I need, but not enough strengthening to actually get better/faster/fitter.

So, back to regular physio visits, but at least I went on the first hiccup rather than took a month, which is what I did last time. Under very strict, almost scary actually, instructions to only run strapped until I go back again next week.

Thanks for all support, and the pep-talk Miners... I WILL run again!! :)
