Has anyone had ASTYM treatment for an injury? My physical therapist - who has helped me through numerous shoulder problems - recommended it yesterday for some lower calf/Achilles tendon pain (apparently I am also very tight in this lower leg area). I had one session (not the most fun I have had!) and I am scheduled for 3 more. I think it has begun to help - but am interested in others' experiences with this modality. Thanks for any info anyone might have......
It is much better but now we are too close to Nationals so I paid attention to where he placed the pads on me for the EMS treatment and I will dupicate that if needed, but after the second treatment the muscles are not hurting as bad now. I know my body pretty well and it will be by Saturday that I will feel 100%. Usually a deep tissue massage works that way for me too and yesterday was the last day I could go for one of those without taking a chance on not recovering fully.
Also Drink lots of Water!
