I've definitely got a few aches and pains from my training. I've had a radiating ache that starts in my left hip and goes through my butt and down into my thigh. It's nothing that keeps me from doing anything, but it is super uncomfortable. The drive from Eugene to Portland was just short of misery because I couldn't for the life of me find a position that I could sit in that didn't send shooters down my leg or radiate ache through my hip. I have tried stretching and rolling, but it almost seems to make it more painful.
I had Timmy look at me yesterday and I'm already 99% better. He got my pelvis moving correctly and yanked on my leg to help align it better. He showed me how to do it myself to keep things happy. What I love about Timmy and the way he (and likely most PT's) works is that he doesn't just treat the symptoms. He finds the root cause of the pain and fixes it from there so that it is actually fixed. He tells you how to strengthen parts of your body so that it moves correctly.
I took yesterday off, too, just to really be sure I'm rested and then ran again this morning ... no pain. It's amazing what moving correctly can do.
