Hey-
I finally got in to meet with Mark Platjes yesterday (based on your recommendation) about my Soleus injury. It took him about five minutes to figure out the cause (running on my toes as recommended by Pose). While the therapy was more painful than I could ever describe (kind of like having your calf simultaneously poked and pounded for twenty minutes by a blunt object, but worse), I am no longer feeling any pain in my soleus. Mark cleared me to run and said that with two-three more treatments, I won’t have to worry about recurrence (unless I continue to run on my toes).
I really want to thank you for the great suggestion. I have never gotten such excellent health care and can now sleep easy knowing that my race season is not over before it could begin.
Thanks.
