I saw the brilliant physio yesterday and she gave me a bit of therapeutic ultrasound and the very beginning of strengthening exercises.  I gave her a roll of tape.  I'll see her again in a couple of weeks.  But today, even before the Myo I began to get my stride back.  I've been shuffling along like a little old lady for a couple of months.  After the Myo my legs feel fantastic.  Loose and limber after months of tensing against the pain.  Great to get a bit of a swagger back.  A veritable swing in my step.
