I'm a runner and I've been experiencing pain on the inside of both knees and some tightness or ache in the arch of one foot. I found some rather sore trigger points in the calves as well as the same thing directly above both knees on the inside. I have been treating these with a lacrosse ball which really is aggressive when compared to using a tennis ball. I feel improvement in the tissue but I would like to know if anyone thinks that i have assessed the cause of the injuries correctly as being tight muscles in the quads and calves. |

I would never get massaged after an acute injury. Use ice to get rid of the inflamation, 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off.
After a couple of days the area should be ok to massage.

Have you tried trying applying an ice pack periodically every 5 minutes. It will increase the blood flow and therefore speed up the healing time.

I have never heard someone getting cured with a "lacrosse ball"
moreover, i would prefer consulting a doctor or might take some pain killers if the pain can't be resisted

Look for a massage therapist who has studied trigger point therapy. 2-3 sessions should really help.
Try using a golf ball on your feet to loosen the fascia.
ALSO- use Epsom salts in a hot bath 3x per week. That will really help with cramping muscles.

I think you have to go for massage therapist and they can solve your problem. Also you can feel better after getting treatment. |
