Does anyone have any experience of recovering from a calf strain brought on by overuse? I’m finding that it’s flaring up repeatedly which is pretty frustrating. I’ve seen a physio and have a plan but I’m interested in how others have recovered from something that felt relatively minor but isn’t going away!
I have experience of it niggling away for a few years, with it leading to other niggles, culminating in almost no running this year and being on the waiting list for a knee operation.
I would be in the pool and loading up in the gym, putting proper load through each leg (not just calf). Eat plenty of protein. Reduce volume but keep running.
