Hello chapoupi,

I would recommend even more strict guidelines, above just not running, if you wish to get back to training quickly.  The key would be to avoid causing further damage. 
If at all possible, I would suggest that you stay off that leg completely, even if it means using crutches for the time being.  Treatment can be successful, but strict compliance is strongly recommended. 

The R.C.C.E. regime should be followed initially until the inflammation is under control. You have started with our cold wrap which is important to decrease the inflammation.  The next step will be to increase the bloodflow to speed up the healing process by using the BFST Plantar wrap. BFST treatments are designed to heal your injury or condition by increasing blood flow deep within the soft tissue. The BFST is a diathermic device which emits electromagnetic energy, which is a radiant energy (frequency/waves), that penetrates deep down to increase blood flow and to draw nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood to the affected area, thereby promoting the body's natural healing process.  Treatments would be 20 minutes in duration approximately every 3-4 hours (or as you can fit it throughout your daily schedule).  Using our KB Support Tape for ongoing compression and protection between BFST treatments, and the overnight period will also help.  Basically you would want to follow the regimen until activity is pain free and there is no increase in symptoms. 

Although you want to get back to training, you cannot rush the healing process.  You can speed it up by following the above recommendations but getting back in the game prematurely can cause reinjury.  You definitely don't want to cause any permanent damage that could impact your ability to resume training.

Please do not hesitate to contact any of our Treatment Advisors with any further questions.

Kind regards,

Hi ecook, once again I do apologize for this delay. 8 weeks since the parcel refusal (July 30) is a long time to be waiting. - This investigation is still pending with USPS and we have been sending you email updates as they have come in to try and keep you in the loop.  I am positive we can solve this to your satisfaction and will be sending you an email today.  In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone at 1.877.661.5239.  Kind Regards,  Patricia

Hello, we will actually honour the 30 day money back guarantee from the date of receipt as opposed to the order date.  In regards to product evaluation time, overall results vary dependent on use, extent of injury etc. However, consensus from the majority of our customer base is that they feel a "noticeable" improvement within 2 weeks or less of using our products.  Some ailments are more prominent and painful than others, such as plantar fasciitis.  For this ailment alone, it seems the improvement happens even earlier than the 2 weeks.  Probably because people are on their feet just for basic movements, and the pain in this ailment is so severe that the results would be so much more noticeable sooner.  By using our products as per our recommended treatment instructions, you would definitely know if the product is working for you within the 30 day timeframe.  If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,

Patricia

Hello,  I actually was suffering not long ago with a tight piriformis which caused major sciatica issues.  My biggest issue was standing from a sitting position without excruciating pain, or being able to fully extend my right leg flat out in front of me when seated.  The ColdCure back was a wonderful product.  First thing in the morning, I would use the first gel (out of the fridge, not freezer) for about 30min, then I would swap it out for a 2nd cold one.  By about 15 min through the second gel, my pain was substantially gone and I could function again.  I used the BFST 2-3 times per day around my schedule.  I went to physio two times per week for 3 weeks and was down to once a week for only 2 more weeks and then I was released.  Physiotherapy consisted of stretching exercises (both done by myself and manually by the physiotherapist).  After each session they applied cold (to decrease inflammation caused from working the area during the physio session) followed by some form of therapy (electric currant; laser; ultrasound etc., basically to stimulate the bloodflow)  At home I would follow my regular treatment regimen of BFST and ColdCure as well.  My physiotherapist was amazed at how quickly my condition improved since typically, sessions are usually 3 times per week for 6 weeks or more.  It was probably more due to the fact that I didn't have to wait for my physio appointments in order to keep my bloodflow stimulated.  I was able to continue, not only my stretching exercises, but was also able to use my products at home in between sessions.  When first starting physio, I could not lift my right leg to even a 45 degree angle (while laying flat on my back).  Within the 5 weeks (only 8 physio treatments) my leg could be extended way past a 90 degree angle.  I now have full range of motion and absolutely no pain whatsoever.
