AN  ATHLETE's  STORY.

( 9-19-10 )

 

 

 

 

I am a Masters’ runner, age 68, specializing in indoor track.  In March of 2009, at the USA National Masters Indoor Track and Field Championships in Landover, MD, I ran a 6:04 mile and a 2:45 half-mile.  These times placed me fourth in said events for my age group.

 

I missed the 2010 indoor season because of chronic soreness in my hamstrings.  Nothing seemed to help permanently -- neither chiropractic nor pain relievers.  I purchased the MRS 2000+ designo on July 18, 2010 just to experiment, and not specifically for the hamstring problem.

 

As instructed by Greg Larsen, I started using the Mat gradually until I felt comfortable with 16 minutes.  Then I would place the Pillow-Pad on my hamstrings and hips for 16 minutes.  I used this protocol twice a day.

 

Within a week’s time I began noticing an improvement in the hamstring soreness.  I also noticed that I was not as tired after my workouts.  After a month, the tightness was completely gone.  I still experienced some slight hip pain, however, but it was much improved from when I began.

 

Exactly two months later, on September 18, I ran a 5K race.  This was the first time I had competed in 1 ½ years.  I ran the 5K in 21:49, which was a good minute faster than I had anticipated.

 

Since I have been using the mat I have observed that my running is much smoother and more effortless.  This running flow is something I haven’t experienced in years!

 

I have come to the realization that we do not have to accept all the aches and pains that come with getting older.  There are solutions to these problems, and I found that using the MediConsult MRS 2000+ to heal the body with energy has worked for me.
