Matt, a good friend and fellow triathlete, recommended that I talked to Josh from Clutch Physical Therapy on New York City's upper East side about my foot. Josh is a triathlete himself and focuses his practice on athletes. It is very hard to find great docs in the city and the word of mouth is always the best option. Josh did an incredible job on Matt's knees, allowing him to win Ironman Louisville last year (age group 25-29), and subsequently clinching his Kona spot! So, clearly, Josh must know what he is talking about.
I went to see him today to treat what I thought was a lingering Peroneal tendinitis. Despite taking 7 weeks off running, my left foot is still sensitive, which made me want to get it checked again. After looking at it, Josh did not think it was a tendinitis, but possibly a stress fracture. He took the time to look at it, described the best treatment for it (which means wearing a boot for 4 weeks!), and his plan to get me back into my training after the I'd be done with my treatment. Big bummer to think that it could be a stress fracture that should have been diagnosed during my first visit back in November, but at least I know where to go after to get back into my training quickly.
I highly recommend Clutch Physical Therapy to anyone who lives in the greater NY area and needs PT
