Let`s Do Rehab - Again
I have had the results from my scan. The prognosis is good and bad. Good in that a problem was found; bad in that recovery may take while.However, I have time - I just need to be sensible!
I have upper hamstring tendinopithy. There are specific exercises to combat this condition. I had already been doin some of these. But I had also been doing some exercises that aggravate the condition. Basically, fast running is not good - anything that stretches the hamstring over the pelvis insert is bad. Cycling can aggravate the c condition because of the position you lock into. So what is good? Strengthening the hammy is a must; but it must be done in a prone position.
My plan is to complete Cranwell Sprint Tri on Wed 18th Sep. I will not race this! We have a team of 4 from Stafford (TSW), which is great because we only have 200 people on the Wing. So it's a social race then rest up and rehab. When I say rest up, I mean tick over. Doc recommended maintaining some form of exercise to keep blood flow and strengthen the hammy. Watch this space - I 'll be back!
