With respect to the foam rolling, my legs (IT bands, parts of quads, calves, peroneals, parts of hamstrings, soleus, etc.) are a mess. I basically just reeeeally took my time yesterday, doing long pauses on painful spots, of which I have lots. They feel fine most of the time but as soon as I start applying pressure the fun begins.
Get a deep tissue massage?
Been there, done that. See my log a few pages back, all that trigger point therapy stuff is basically targeted deep tissue. It hurts like a motherfucker but once I'm done with conventional PT I'll probably start doing the manual therapy again like once a month or so.
Right-O.
BTW, I couldn't recommend deep tissue/TPT more highly. It feels great. Afterward.
Yeah, I plan to get a/some deep tissue massage(s) done when I get back to London. The guy I am going to has brought grown men to tears.
