my journey of healing

it really be frustrating to wait it out.
to rest and do all that you can to recover from an injury that do not essentially stop you from doing what you want but just not at 100% condition.

part of my regime in my road of recovery for the next 2 weeks;
beside asbtaining from running and biking is to take anti - inflammantory even when i experience no pain just to make sure that the deep muscle are completely healed.
see my therapist twice a week for deep tissue massage.

i hate the pain from the massage.

what is the point of suffering all these pain during massage, aren't massage suppose to make you feel good?
not this type of massage...
deep issue massage aimed to break down the scars in the muscle. these scares are not the superficial ones that you sustain after you trip but rather it your tissue that harden after injury or during healing like a hamstring strain. it is inelastic and will decrease the flexibility of your muscle.
the breaking down of the scars will cause new scars to form. this is when you must make sure you stretch and increase the elasticity of the muscle so that the new scares will become 'better' scars. inflammation may occurred during the process.

the repeat action hopefully will help your muscle to regain its former ability.

all the best to me for the next 4 sessions...
