L Lower Leg, Calf Strain

2008-10-02 – 2009-02-08

Grade: 2

Calf has been niggling away since I strained it last summer.

Mycofascial release (acupuncture) at trigger points. Think the calf never healed properly after previous injury (summer 2007) and serious exertion causes body to overreact and contract muscle to protect itself from tearing. Needles a couple of times and physio a few times whilst continuing to build up more training seems to have fixed this.
