Tonight I went to my first Active Release Therapy appointment.
It was the same gentlemen who worked on me last Tri season in Newburyport, immediately after the Tri. Great guy, relaxed, very professional, and efficient.
He confirmed after playing with my quad for a while, that I had sustained a “good sized tear earlier in the season”. So much for the CMC ER prognosis.
After several stretches and isolated penetrations, he adjusted my spine, which yet again has fallen to the netherworld of subfluxuation - Which he noted was a common side effect for quad tears.
It feels quite good now, but behind my right hip flexor, something feels really sore. But a good sore, because I was just flying around in my room doing domestic stuff, and never felt restricted, as I had in previous days. Note: I haven’t taken ibproufen since 1pm this afternoon, (200mg).
He said I was clear to run, but at no more than 70% of my maximum heart rate, which largely means anything below 145. I digress: To think my rehab runs maxed at 174, and averaged at 164. I will report in the coming days how the running goes.
I strongly recomend anyone in the greater Boston area to consider Active Life Chiropractic, www.activelife
