In all my years of fitness training and rehab work . This is the most perfectly explained video on calf injury I have ever heard . Ever and Im in the 50 category. BRILLIANT Video thank you!!!

@ChipKempston 3 года назад

I've watched a ton of videos and spoken to numerous therapists about my calf injuries and general leg tightness. This test was so simple and clearly indicated neural tension.

@sugnashukla501 3 года назад

This is the first time I hv ever heard someone’s lecture so interestingly! You are a real good speaker , loved your speech sis.Thank you for the advices too.

@chetranqui 3 года назад

Such a sensible approach. Thank you for helping me understand the scenario better and providing such simple recommendations. I'm now excited to work on my lower back and hammies... never woulda thought such a thing might impact my calves!

@philgwellington6036 5 лет назад

Thankyou from New Zealand. Your notion of interconnected neural tension rang a bell for me with reference to excruciating lower back pain which is aggravated by seemingly disparate movements. This explains a lot.

@jilaann 4 года назад

Hello from USA! Great video, love your accent! My first running injury... left calf strain on Day 1 of a 20 day run streak. I started having a sciatic problem on my left side in February after a long 2 Day road trip. When I strained the calf On my left, I felt like the two were somehow “connected”. This video was very helpful! Now if I can figure out where that sciatic is getting caught. I have been getting Chiropractic adjustments and that has helped tremendously along with stretching. THANK YOU!

@vyleart4488 4 года назад

Excellent video. Was running 15 to 20 miles a week regularly. Had to pause for two weeks due to work, when I came back to running I strained my calf level 2 going up a steep hill. Very frustrating situation, but my intuition was to do what you advised and not push too far while still strengthening by walking. Very frustrating to go from 6miles per run to 1.5, but at 46 I have to take good care of myself. Your video was by far the best I found on youtube on the subject and so relevant to my experience. Very clear and logical. The part about nerve tension made perfect sense, as I have had had pinched nerve issues in the past. Subscribed!

Is the nerve xalf situation as tou described the same as having an annoying but sensitive hot or tender to touch spot on the calf?? That's been my recurring calf injury history

@dwaynebrown2626 7 месяцев назад

@@SportsInjuryPhysiowhat do you recommend for strengthening exercises? Walking?? I’ve run my whole life but recently went from my longest run of 20 miles to doing a 100 mile run. Started calf issues while training for it and has continued ever since. I have not rehabbed properly or waited long enough for it to heal. Thanks

@julienbouillot6960 3 года назад

Very instructive and definitely backed up by science. That being said this is still very focused on the symptoms as opposed to the root cause. I have suffered from calf strains between 2016 and 2020. I thought I was never be going to be able to run again. I realized that 2 factors were at the genesis of my issues: the first one is I went from running 30K a week to 60/70 topping 90k in 3 months for a marathon training. I put way too much intensity putting too much strain on the muscle and just put in too much volume in too short of a period of time. I was not recovering and kept loading and loading the muscle requiring 1 physio session a week.The second reason was just poor running form.. I was using the calves to propel me rather than leveraging larger muscle groups such as the glutes or the hamstrings. Running is not just about buying a pair of shoes and go out. It requires a specific technique that unfortunately very few coaches focus on. After 4 years of struggle I am back to running 45/60K a week on top of biking and swimming. I have not been to a physic in 18 months.I run slower , better and that has made me faster. Fixing injuries takes a holistic approach, it is about technique and rehab before rehab.

@quammeriqbal5666 3 года назад

Had Calf problems for some time now keep pulling them every time i play tennis or football and evening running. Then you added in about nurotension and back problems and 3 years ago i got a bulging disc due to a 30 mile charity walk plus just turned 50. Did that simple test you showed and yes it works.

@1966jamesM 3 года назад

Great explanation. Thank you. The 50 year old male's switch, you couldn't be closer to the mark with that statement! I've spent fortunes on physio and nobody has ever explained why it keeps reoccurring. Around 5 years ago I broke a metatarsal on the left side after I'd been having reoccurring calf tightness for a several months, I can't help but think the two are possibly related.

@AdamThomas28 Год назад

@alvor2762 2 года назад

Well this was extremely informative. I am 70+ and hurt a calf muscle doing a jog/walk the other day. It then appeared to be OK and then what did I do, ran again and now in real trouble. I hope people watch this video and take note. The sad thing I play golf and now that's going to be affected while I recover. First time I have ever damaged a calf muscle.

@ronniegrey4445 4 года назад

Reacurring back pain makes so much sense now, something had to give my calf muscle could'nt take the constant pounding anymore. I'm 55yrs didn't see this injury coming at all, just bang! it hit me so suddenly. Thanks for sharing.

@davidspencer6384 Год назад

Am in this situation right now. 9 weeks post-injury and I thought walking and increasing swimming was enough physio. Wrong. Regressed about four weeks in a few days after unwittingly overdoing it. Lesson learned and this video confirms everything. Thanks for posting.

@markthomasson5077 3 года назад

Thanks, very well and clearly explained. I am 64, I get knotted calves so easily. Recovery is at least 6 months from 3 long hill runs. As ever I started to hard, just learning how to really slow down.

@joelhouse7533 3 года назад

I am in the same age group. I have heard older runners say they have to live with fewer miles to avoid injury. I think what she describes makes sense that older males who get injured will be looking at long rehabilitation times. Mentally, we are not a good group for long rehabilitation. So my colleagues have opted to run fewer miles as a solution for not recognizing our body’s aging effects and proper healing. Takes discipline to stay in the game. I am slowly recovering from a repetitive motion injury to my calf. Re-aggravated when I started back too soon. Live and learn. And we all hate COVID pounds.

@markthomasson5077 3 года назад

I am now doing 3-5k most days, with a 14k once perhaps twice a week. I am getting on with strength exercises, say 20minutes most days

@leeatkins1995 3 года назад

Brilliant video. Very informative. What though are good strengthening exercises to begin rehab? I am just turned 50 years old and have just returned to running, I have a lower calf strain from two days ago. I still seem to be flexible judged by the exercises you have demonstrated. The calf already feels much better and there was only light pain when I walked a couple of miles today.
