About this episode
Anything the runners does to heal faster will get the runner back to running faster.
Even simple things you can do at home can help change the course of an injury.
On of the oldest treatments for musculoskeletal injury, and one any runner can do themselves, is massage.
A runner on webcam just asked me whether or not it might help her plantar plate injury recover faster. The short answer is:
Yes, massage can help as along as you do not injure the plantar plate ligament further in the process.
How does massage really help when you have an injury? Yes, there are a couple of ways massage can help, as long as that massage does not make the injury worse.
Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we’re talking about the good and bad, or the risk vs benefits of massage with a plantar plate sprain.
