Sprained Calf

Stuy is a client, that has always  worked his body hard and expected a great deal from it, he has also always looked after his body and is extremely fit,   he still is, but a quite severe unexpected injury took it’s toll and created a problem that he knew he had to deal with. This is a recent email we received from him.

Hi Steve.

Well its been a few months since I saw you, with my nightmare Sprained Calf!

I was having a terrible start to the year missing 4 events due to injuries, and I had totally lost my motivation and was feeling very down and negative.

And the from the 1st moment I met you, you inspired my confidence that everything was going to be ok again, when you said.   “We WILL Re-build you!”  lol

I must admit I was a bit nervous putting my feet into a bucket of  water with electrodes in, but again you made me feel at ease, it was a strange sensation as the current worked its way and magic up from my toes. No pain, but could really feel it pushing my heels up, working the damaged muscles.

After the sessions where complete you had not only repaired the Physical, but just as important I was mentally ready, I was “buzzing” ready to take it slowly and get back on track.

I have competed in 3 Triathlons, and feeling great, the injury has totally gone and no problems.

Guyon’s Tunnel Syndrome. Is a common nerve compression affecting the Ulnar nerve as it passes through a tunnel in the wrist called Guyon’s canal It is a similar problem to Carpal tunnel syndrome, but involves a completely different nerve. With Guyon’s tunnel syndrome you will get a feeling of pins and needles in the ring and little fingers, this may also progress to a burning sensation or pain in the wrist and hand it may then be followed by decreased sensation in the ring and little fingers. I reckon a few avid cyclists are going to recognize this symptom as one common cause of this syndrome is from pressure of bicycle handlebars.

I recently swam 4500m in open water, and have entered a half Iron-man for the end of September.

So onwards and upwards, I have my inspiration back and just want to keep growing & improving.

 

Thanks again Steve for the helping me Get fit and STAY fit!

Cheers

Stuy

Then from a clients wife a message he is a Iron-man competitor and triathlete she just wanted to say “Thanks for fixing her husband. He completed Vichy iron-man in 12:32:58 his best iron-man time so far. Then just to top it all a client that had been trying to get a MRI scan with not much success asked me to send a letter to her GP to see if would help, I explained in the letter my finding with the “Bioneuro Assessment tool”, they have now agreed with letting her have the MRI
