VM Feeling Better!

In the grand scheme of things a silly little injury is no big deal, but when you have your mind set on something it can really shake things up and has the potential to bring one down.... if you let it.

Thanks for the kind words.

A week of ultra sound, electro stimulation and care of the office of Doc Smith and my VM (vastus medialis) is feeling pretty darn good! Doc Smith and his staff have been very friendly and given solid care. When I say care, I mean care. There's genuine "wanting to help" there.

Here's a quick recap of my training week:

Monday - Electro stim / ultrasound / deep tissue massage of injured area @ Smith
Chiropractic. Lots of ice and moist heat

Tuesday - 20 minute treadmill then discomfort. Moved to bike. core work.
Electro stim / ultrasound / @ Smith Chiropractic.

Wednesday - 1:30 Aqua Jog / Rose Bowl Aquatic Center (Suprisingly good workout /
felt worked and very relaxed after) Electro stim / ultrasound / @
Smith Chiropractic.

Thursday - 35 min treadmill. gradual speed increase. no pain. Electro stim /Heat /
ultrasound / @ Smith Chiropractic.

Planning on giving it a go this weekend, but will listen to my body. Feeling good. Rest tomorrow and continued treatment.

In honor of the VM (Vastus Medialis) here's one of my all time favorite artists VM (Van Morrison)



Happy Trails
