Well done to Michele for his first pole this season. He does exceptionally well here. Kenan down in 6th, behind Lascorz AND Rea, not good. His practice time would've put him in 3rd, very curious. Laverty, business as usual.

Patrick writes: After looking at some of the Sock-Doc's videos on the Natural Running Center site and trying to find out how to deal with some pains on both the inside and the outside of my right knee, it appears to me that there is similarity between Dr Gangemi's methods and Trigger-Point Therapy. Is this accurate? Would it be worthwhile having somebody mention the pros and/or cons of trigger-point therapy on your website? I am using the foam roller and the stick and it seems after one week to be helping my knee. However, at the moment there are too many variables to consider for me to confidently attribute my improvement to the massaging I'm doing of different areas on my quads and buttocks. Of course, I hope that does explain my improvements as these are chronic problems for me.
Sock Doc replies: The trigger-point therapy (which is the term I use often in my articles and videos) is the same type of trigger-point therapy that many other therapists use. Some also call this origin-insertion technique. The benefits are primarily that it helps re-align muscle fibers so they may begin to heal, and it is also suspected that it may help with inflammation, perhaps much like compressing an injury can be of benefit. I also believe that when using trigger point therapy on an old or chronic injury that it's also making your body aware that there is an injury present, and needs to be dealt with; it's much like your body has compensated as to forget that there is still an injury present affecting you though there is no acute pain. I see many patients with patterns of injuries that are not healing because their body essentially doesn't recognize that there is a problem anymore. It's difficult to explain, but when you're injured certain aspects of your nervous system respond a certain way. When they don't respond correctly, you don't heal properly – or at all. For example, you may have injured your shoulder in the past and no longer have pain there. Now, months or years later say you have a pain in your hip due to a gait imbalance from that old shoulder injury on the opposite side of your body. This is actually very common, and the hip problem will not be resolved until you deal with the shoulder issue, perhaps via a trigger point in a muscle in that region.
The cons of trigger-point therapy? I'd say zero unless you have a therapist who doesn't know what they're doing and is just beating the hell out of your muscles and actually creating new injuries.
The other important factor to understand is that the trigger point is there because of some muscle imbalance. If you correct the trigger point, you may or may not correct the muscle imbalance. If you don't, you won't see much, or any, positive response. The muscle imbalance rarely occurs from the trigger point – it comes from some other problem related to stress. Too much physical stress (injuries, poor footwear), chemical stress (poor diet, nutrition) and emotional stress (poor sleep, work, commitments) create muscle imbalances, which in turn creates pain, injuries, and the trigger points. So working on the trigger points is part of the overall therapy in resolving the injury, but it is often not the only part of it. If you don't correct the underlying problem, your trigger point work will provide no benefit or you'll always feel the need to constantly be working the points out.
Dear Dr. Gangemi,
Many thanks. This is helpful. My next challenge will be to find a good therapist. Meanwhile, I'll keep working on this myself.
I have some trigger points in my left calf, it seems like in the soleus and peroneal. I am massaging them multiple times a day, and find that they are always more sensitive in the morning, or after a nap. Do you know why this might be?
Jack, that could be from the lying down position and increased fluid build up in the area (inflammation). If you sleep with your leg elevated and they are less tender after that would give you a definitive answer. Also, as I particularly note in the last paragraph, if you have to keep working out tender areas/trigger points, you're probably not correcting the true source of the problem, and you may even be making it worse.
Hi! I've found many of these videos to be useful. Do you have one on trigger points for the foot? I developed super-tight calf muscles from overtraining (sigh, I didn't know, I'm new to the racing game) and my feet hurt. I've been doing VFF's for over a year, and in the past 3 months switched to Softstar moccasins (2 mm vibram sole). So, probably a combo of overtraining and transitioning shoes too quickly. My forefoot is sore on both feet, but the calves are definitely losing their soreness. The video on achilles tendonitis was especially helpful. Thank you for your advice!
Thanks Lisa. There is not a video specifically showing trigger points for the foot, though they sometimes need to be treated. The main area is right in the middle of the main arch of the foot, right where the tibialis posterior attaches and supports the arch via the navicular bone. Actually, much of the foot "tenderness" that so many get is from a fatigued tib posterior. Therefore, a lot of times the points to work out are way at the opposite end – the origin – behind the tibia and the fibula just below the knee joint. Check there!
YAY!!! Finally, some sanity. I am so tired of hearing runners complain about all their pains and having no understanding that almost all of their suffering is referred pain.
I have Travell & Simons' two volumes, Myofascial Pain and Dysfuntion. Still considered the gold standard. It explains how the pain runners feel is mostly muscle pain. Even if it feels like hard tissue pain, it is mostly caused by muscle dysfunctioin.
Even more useful is The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Clair Davies. Only $15 on amazon.com! It will explain all your running pains. It will not tell you how to change your running form so the pain stops. Your bare feet will do that, if you listen to them. But it will show the physical source. De-mystification of pain.
I see such a plague of Tibialis Posterior problems in runners. That muscle, in part, is our built in pronation control. Tib Posterior dysfuntion feels like achillies pain. And all the Vastus Lateralis pains that runners misunderstand as IT band problems.
Bravo and thank you for shining some light on Trigger Points and the pain referral they cause.
Ever onward!
This is great advice. As a therapist, I have seen amazing results with the combination of self massage – using a foam roller, soft ball, lacrosse ball, and golf ball, and professional massage treatments. I have treated painful injuries such as plantar fasciitis, runner's knee (ITB pain), low back pain, top of foot pain, metatarsal pain, and even shoulder pains with great success. Usually within 2-4 sessions the pain cycle is broken allowing the client to be fully engaged in their recovery process.
Here are a few more articles on self massage treatments with examples of exercises.
Happy Running

Good to read some common sense at last! I have been suffering from chronic psin in shoulder, arm and HAND for 3 years now – and think we have finally identified the trigger points involved (after a lot of other treatment that really didn't work). The key point I took from this post is that working on trigger points is great – but it's key to work on the underlying cause to get lasting results….my physio and I press on – my problem seems to stem from poor posture – which isn't a quick fix after years of ingrained slouching……
How much do you think self-therapy can remedy? I am concerned about doing more harm than good.

Press Release 06-018 NSF Awards First Partnership for International Research and Education Grants
Program aims to fortify international research collaborations and engage U.S. scientists and engineers

January 30, 2006
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded the first grants in its Partnership for International Research and Education (PIRE) program. The grants range in size and duration, with most about $2.5 million over five years.
"At a time when scientific and engineering research is becoming increasingly global, this NSF program is designed to enable U.S. scientists and engineers to build strong, long-lasting international research collaborations and to develop a new cadre of globally engaged U.S. scientists and engineers," said Kathryn Sullivan, acting director of NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering, which awarded the PIRE grants.
"The PIRE awards are focused research projects that can only be successful with the collaboration of foreign partners," she said. "They provide strong international research experiences for U.S. students and post-docs, and provide new models for how universities can tap their many resources to become more international."
The PIRE awards support research across the entire spectrum of NSF-funded disciplines, with projects in such areas as the formation of distant galaxies, nanoscience for clean drinking water, computer speech recognition and language translation, patterns of learning by children of immigrants, seismic activity in the Earth's mantle under Africa, and plants and animals unique to Patagonia.
The competition is supported across NSF, with every NSF directorate contributing funds to at least one PIRE award. The geographic distribution of the PIRE collaborations is wide-ranging, with multiple partnerships funded to work in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa. Nine of the 12 PIRE partnerships will link U.S. researchers and students with collaborators in multiple foreign countries.
"PIRE activities highlight the fact that many important research questions can best be addressed within an international collaboration and that for the United States to retain its strengths in science and engineering, scientists and engineers must work with colleagues across the globe," said Sullivan.
PIRE projects are characterized by close integration of research and education, extensive student preparation for foreign experiences and strong mentoring during international research, as well as activities that will contribute to developing an international community of scholars at U.S. universities.
PIRE projects, for example:
The PIRE grants were made to Brigham Young University, Johns Hopkins University, Michigan State University, Michigan Technological University, Pennsylvania State University, Princeton University, Rice University, the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, the University of California at Santa Barbara, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the State University of New York at Albany, and the University of Rhode Island.

Is this like a "poor man's John Neal" ??
His AAU teammate Klint Carlson from WSR is also a UNI commit. I'd like to of had Morgan but he'll be a good fit in that conference.
Maybe he doesn't think he can compete in this league. Granted, UNI has had our number recently... Best of luck to him and any future terrible decisions he decides to make.
Well, at least he can still be a Hawk fan. Another UNI-Hawk in the making.
Probably saw the writing on the wall. The 2013 class is already loaded, and only going to get heavier. He knew he'd look good in C&G, but he would be sitting on the end of the bench for three years. At least he can see the court for the kitties, where he isn't competing with top tier recruits.
Fred needs to focus on the big time players, and leave the mid-major, Iowa-grown boys to the state's JV squads.
Some classy posts.
I am wondering if maybe ISU offered him but it was a conditional offer. I think he will be a very good missouri valley player in a few years.

Meh, not too concerned. Would've loved to have him off the bench though.
Please tell me he would have only been a walk- on.

We offered him a scholarship

To be fair, I didn't post in the other thread. Because my thoughts would have been negative, and I was taught if you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything at all
We have 4 more schollys we can take a flyer on at least 1 or 2 players.
