I went to a physio yesterday at a sports injuries clinic, and got a substitute physio, cos my normal one is away.
To paraphrase her, I got "you runners are all the same..you run marathons and then complain about injuries...blah blah blah". She told me I shouldn't run another marathon this year, cos its bad for you.
I don't pay that money to get told to stop doing something I enjoy! I want them to help me fix whats wrong, and show me how to prevent it happening again!!!
Mind you, as this sports injury clinic is in a poncy gym, the most common injury the probably treat is a broken nail.
grrrr...it makes me so mad I could spit!
Had to get that off my chest..can't wait til the real physio gets back!

might be worth a try tho!
I'm due back next week for my pre-FLM cortisone injection (they kindly rescheduled the appointment originally booked in for March 25th!)
Grrrr!
Sounds like a particularly cr@p encounter with the medical profession. Nothing like my surgery!
Well, hope it gets better. <<healing medical type hug>> For every story of being told to stop running by a physio, there is one of people who go on to never need physio attention again. A few years ago I was at the physio 3 times a week with a dodgy nerve in my back and they told me it would be unlikely I'd be able to run much in the future. Well bumheads to them cos I've done 2 marathons and all sorts since then. So there.
I was told 2 years ago not to run again.... I think they were right though...!
Greeny - what do they know eh? These medical types - complete frauds, some of em!
Nope, you can't trust 'em Dr Nic... imposters...
