Runners or Atheltes in pain - ok, so last Sunday, I did some interval training on the track. The next day my hip flexor/groin was sore. Two days later I was still sore and when I attempted to jog it was sore to the point i decided to take a few more days off. I was stretching each night but still sore and slight discomfort even walking. On the 4 day I was getting worried I strained my hip flexor and would be out of commision for a couple of weeks. So my wife owns her own buinsess and helps peolpe who want to quit smoking and also experiencing pain using Laser Therapy. Last night she used the laser on both my right and left hip flexor. this morning with a little ice and stretching the pain is gone. Today's work out ; 5 k - time 24.30 (with out even trying my fastest time since I started running 8 weeks ago.) 5 min cool down the immediately to the following Rest 30 sec in between sets; 60 sec inbetween exercises 1.Box Steps with knee drive 3 sets 15 reps each leg superset with Bench dips - body weight 3 sets 30 reps 30 sec rest inbetween sets, 60 sec in between excer 2. Dumbell Lunges - weight 25/lb, 2 sets 15 reps, superset with Crunches 30 reps 3. Squat to Press - weight 85/lbs, 2 sets 15 reps, superset with Pushups 25 reps. Done. Thanks babe for the laser treatment, I am back on the road to training. Any runners or atheltes expericing pain and want to try an alternative, let me know I will put in you touch with my wife. This the second time she used the laser. The first time was on my knee about 3 weeks ago, still no pain.
