Oh yes I know and agree. I knew that once he got into my calf it was gonna hurt. I would feel discomfort when I rolled out my calfs and this was pre injury. The only thing that was really painful was when he worked on the calf. He told me this would be the only painful session.
When he worked every other muscle to me it felt pretty good. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but that calf was the worst. Its been two days since and my body overall feels great. My calf is still tender, but it feels pretty damn good also.
Now the other guy who was on the table has a very low pain threshold. The ems on his back wasnt even cranked super high and he was screaming. lol, think what would happen if he went through a C francis EMS workout!
4/27
had my second session. much less pain in calf than before. He said I had 3 knots in my in my calf that he had to get out which caused the pain. THey are all gone know which means less pain. He said the calf was much more pliable now. I took an epsolm salt bath after and I see him again next week.
Im able to sprint know I just have yet to go wide open in spikes. Probably wait till sunday or next week to do a few hard runs and test it.
Had therapy two days ago 5/9. No pain at all. session went great. I have been sprinting for the last week so the calf is back at 100%
I was gonna hit a meet this weekend but I dont feel like driving a few hours post injury. I rather get some more sessions in. So Im gonna hit a meet next week close to home.

All that matters is your sprint times Chris. Don’t fret the bench unless in some imaginary land you’ve found it to be a direct corollary to your sprint times and, in principle, there’s no logically way a direct correlation can exist between the two.
