A better way of looking at overuse conditions would be to say “you have a condition that is caused by the overuse of certain muscles, that is a reflection of your current bio-mechanics.” Or more simply, your body can’t currently deal with the amount of work you're putting it through. Now you might think it would take weeks, maybe months of training to change this and how you work, but sometimes it can take just a matter of minutes!
At R.M.H Sports Massage Therapy this it what I regularly see. It is possible, with the right knowledge and techniques, to change poor movement patterns that have been there for years, in just a matter of moments. What does that mean in real terms? Less pain training and competing. In fact, usually no pain, well, other than what is perfectly normal in such a gruelling event!
The best thing about the way I work is that you can carry on training. We may have to modify things a bit depending on your injury status, but my goal is always to keep you working as closely as possible to your planned training schedule.
