Stretch & Sauna
Jan1320094:09 p.m.
Thank you to Kevin for pointing out my Satan spelling mistake on my last blog, I think the rest of you just didn't bother because you know what my spelling is like?! Satan or Satin, the women was a she devil!
She Devil (aka Lesley my fizzio), also said yesterday that clearly I was not doing enough of the stretches she gave me (wrist duly slapped) and therefore I went to the gym this lunch despite not intending to and did thirty minutes of serious & various calf stretches before a 15 minute sauna and shower.
After the pummeling my calf got yesterday, it needed a good stretch out today and despite the achilles being quite sore, it does somehow does feel slightly better (Makes no sense I know!)
Feeling slightly (1 on scale of 10) optimistic that this treatment might have a chance. So the calf and achilles can expect hell from me this week. However, I am not capable of inflicting the same pain on myself that Lesley managed yesterday!

Petecw29 'Dave you've no chance of inflicting the same pain as a physio, they train for years to learn how to do that much hurt!! They learn just where it hurst most and how to twist and pummel you while still ensuring that you go away thinking that they are doing you good!! Have fun!' added 13th Jan 2009
