Injury & Chiropractor

My twisted ankle/ achilles is nearly healed, still sore & tired at times so needs regular icing (?)

I'd already booked it but since I was unable to run for 2-3 weeks at beginning of May, I took time to go to a chiropractor. Gill Dabek my physio had recommended I do this for ages.

Within 1 minute, the chiropractor was able to pinpoint the problem - my left leg was 1.5 cm shorter than my right, stretching everything out, and causing my tendonitis for the last 2 years.

My left hip had rolled up, no idea why.. any way this caused the tendonitis tightening all the leg muscles.

So hopefully this will start to clear soon. Rebecca Howell  is at http://www.liverpoolchiropracticcare.co.uk/

With my twisted left ankle putting extra weight on my right leg and the change from the chiropractic work, both calves & hamstrings have been tight especially on the right side.

3-4 sessions sports massage on the ankle with Gill, and rest of my legs.. problems are finally clearing. Phew!

Was really panicing that I had torn or ripped something but thankfully not, though it was painful.

Marathon is still on and I can start training soon.
