OT – massage therapist recommendation?

[my tiny apt]

Brian Downum is a sports medicine acupuncurist and his girlfriend Wendy does Sports medicine massage.
I have muscle tension and had an ankle fracture that they helped me recover from. They are both excellent. http://www.chinesemedicalstudio.com/theFLOCK.html

outamojo, as I understand it muscle strains happen routinely with frequent runners (this from my own experience and from the testimony of a massage therapist I know who unfortunately lives out of state). Perhaps the disconnect is comparing the experience of high school runners with that of my 39-year old husk of a body.

walterwhite, thanks but this is not a question of “doing it wrong”… the issue derives from a weird anatomical situation that has caused me problems for decades, which is that my legs are of somewhat different lengths from one another. Such problems crop up once in a while and dealing with them as they come up, ie the metaphorical band aid, is the best I can hope for given the situation.

Thanks everyone for the info.

hi rich, being a runner and having dealt with some serious pain, at pts chronic unless i stop running for some length of time, i have tried many many different modalities of therapy, massage, etc.

i find sports, deep tissue massage, even rolfing only help very temporarily. i’d suggest you try acupuncture as i get the best and longest lasting results. as well as work with a physical therapist that can train you in exercises to help even out imbalances in your body and strengthening areas to keep your body in symmetry. if you do have a leg length disparity, will cause many other parts of your body to be off. i’d suggest you go to acusport

there is some debate amongst doctors (according to several sports medicine drs i’ve been to) about differing leg lengths. some doctors believe the real anatomical issue is overstated and is more learned, meaning your hips may be rotated, you may have some scoliosis, muscular imbalance, etc all which can cause you to walk differently and appear as if one leg is mm’s off from the other and hence drs may suggest leg length disparity when it is no longer there once they adjust your hips, or massage a leg with much tighter muscles. if you have an anatomical measured difference, do you wear a lift?
