Calf strain or Hamstring Tendonitis

[ginger]

the very short answer to your pain problem is that you very likely have a referred ( neuralgic ) problem, stemming from hypomobility and irritation at the joint/nerve in your lower lumbar spine . In particular at L5S1. It is from this level that so called hamstring tenderness and calf, heel, achilles pain etc problems usually arise. No amount of rubbing ,lasering , frictions , massage , needles or other treatments applied local to your pain will fix a referred event . It is in fact very easy and quick to fix permanently. Physiotherapists routinely mobilise facet joints till protective tonicity at the L5S1 level is normalised ( about ten to twenty minutes ) . this will immediately reduce and ultimately eliminate pain ( and abnormal muscle behaviour , sensation etc )referred from this common source.

Hi Ginger,
The plot thickens. fun you should mention this. I did have some low back pain around Jan/Feb time this year, but that was after 10 months of the sore knee. Physio did treat the back, mobilising a number of discs, mostly L2/3, but it did take sometime to get on top of the pain. Hence the MRI of my spine, which came bakc pretty much clear. There was a couple of discs compressed but the report said it was nothing to be concerned about.

Can you explain how a physio mobilise the discs.

Thank you for your feedback.
