Tonight, is Thursday training session at South Dartmoor CC for the younger age groups; U4’s, U5’s, U6’s, U7’s and U9’s.

I had a client booked in from Monday, another follow-up session like last week. It has been 4 weeks since the injury happened, today I saw some progress when giving a soft tissue massage as I could applied more pressure and the muscle was a little less tight in comparison to the previous week. The client and his dad are getting fed up with how long it is taking to get back to normal so he can go play football again- he isn’t currently participating in any training sessions or matches due to the pain it is causing him so I advised to sit out. I reassured them both that if he keeps doing the exercises and stretches that I provided and keep coming for a soft tissue massage it will eventually heal. There was less pain today from his injury. I tested his heel to bum stretch/ ROM and his heel touched which is another progress today in comparison to previous week! I spent longer with this client today due to having no other clients booked in, giving him a 30-minute massage with deep heat balm rather than a quick 15-minute massage. We then went through the exercises that I prescribed, mainly so I could check that he was able to perform them correctly.

After I finished up with my client, I headed up to the AstroTurf to check on the younger age groups training, just in case there were any injuries. I then showed the U9’s some stretches at the end of the session due to the coach asking me to.
