astym for pf

Cathlete
I think I have a little pf in my left heel.
I've had to back off of running (can't seem to give it up)
and hi impact work outs which is driving me crazy!
I even had to give up my ragnar spot!
I've been reading about Astym and thinking of trying it
Have any of you tried it? Is it worth it? Does it really fix the problem?
Thanks
Christie
 
Chris,
I have had symptoms of PF for almost a year and backed way off impact moves. I don't know anything about Astym, but I just bought a book called "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" by Clair Davies (about $16 on Amazon) and have found relief :eek:!!!! I performed some of the massage techniques to my soleus and am amazed at how much the pain is subsiding. I have slowly been bringing small hops and jumps back into my workouts with no problem. I HIGHLY recommend either buying this book, getting it from your library, or finding a specialist in trigger point massage (regular massage will not address your issues).
