On the Treatment Table

My old Sports masseur decided to retire to France shortly after FLM, can't say I blame him as Sports Massage was his 2nd career after 30 years with a certain large computer corporation with the nickname of Big Blue. I have been able to find another one and even better she does treatments at Lunch time in the first aid room at work. Today was my first appointment and I heard she can inflict pain so I looked forward to my appointment with a little trepidation. I had done a tempo run on the tready before work so was expecting some comments. I got them!

Session started off with an assessment of my general flexibility, yes I can't bend at the knees too far, yes my knees come in together, Oh my hamstrings are tight as well and the less said about the hips the better. I am glad too say she wasn't able to make me squawk, wince a couple of times maybe but not squawk. Overall she was able to free most things up but the left hip (the one I injured before FLM) is still not right. There doesn't seem to be anything muscularly wrong, but my left hip/pelvis is raised when lying flat on my back. I may need to go and see a chiropractor to "re-align" my pelvis. That sounds as if it will hurt.

In the meantime I'm not injured so I can continue my Marathon build-up, but I will get this hip resolved before the really long distance training starts in about a month.
