Unfortunately, most of my body parts are like the brats in kindergarten who don't like to share. Think: yelling "Gimme!" and tugging. So, yes...more exercises and probably more bacon.sn0m8nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815043766342554921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294323887747091246.post-8246612755936458672009-02-07T06:20:00.000-05:002009-02-07T06:20:00.000-05:00I am certainly not an expert, and probably can't t...I am certainly not an expert, and probably can't tell you anything you don't already know - but I remember some good stuff from my time in the joint (PT). Have you ever used a strap to stretch your hamstrings - it actually stretches your calves first, and my PT told me that a lot of times tight hamstrings are part of tight calves (running on the road). The other thing I was thinking, that if your back hurt during the race last week, you may have been restricting your movement a little, changing your gait and tightening up the hammys. So, maybe the lower back strengthening is in order too. I hope that might be a little helpful, but I know what you're going through. That said, I DID start my PT exercises again - we could open a clinic!mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14918989722076745348noreply@blogger.com
