I strained my Gastro last night. I wish I could say I was sprinting away from a bear while holding my newborn in my arms, but I was jumping around with my 3 year old in the living room. I started running for the first time in a while, 3 days before, so I think it was just overworked. Great video. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Pulled my calf bad while playing soccer two months ago, couldn’t walk for the first couple of days.

Played on it after 1 months of rest and reinjured it. Thanks for this video, I did not know how to rehab it properly until I watched.

There is no other channel so informative as this, i wish you guys great success!

This was by fr the most educational and to the point analysis. I have been suffering of these issues for so long and no one has ever been capable to give so direct information.

This is the best video I have ever seen !!! I have been dealing with Achilles tendonitis for quite some time - unable to run or bike without the pain. These exercises and detailed explanation for slow progression has helped me a lot . I definitely recommend this ! Thank you so much . I can’t wait to get back to my triathlons

Suffering from a soleus strain at the moment, this is the best and most comprehensive rehab video. I’ve seen on YouTube. Thank you so much for this. I can’t wait to get back to running. (slowly) 😅

This is the most comprehensive explanation and exercise progression programme! Subscribed just because of this video, can't wait to watch what else you have on your channel. I am on my way to fix my achilles tendonitis and definitely going to use those. 🙏
