physical therapy for upper medial gastroc strain
The road to recovery started today. My PT is Jeff, a charming and skilled man hailing from Calgary, Canada. He determined that my injury might be less worse than I feared (fingers crossed, fingers crossed); I may bike, walk but no tennis and tap, my passions.
He did a 5 minute massage on the spot that felt really good and hurt like hell. Also a few minutes of ultrasound, all in the name of getting rid of the (bad) scar tissue and allow the good tissue to grow and heal the injured muscle. 
He gave me strengthening as well as stretching exercises, also for my weak hip (who knew?)
I’ll be diligent about my “homework”. I can walk pretty much pain free especially wearing my RM Williams cowboy boots; must say that I’ve never worn them in spring, but since boots are in, I lucked out and am actually looking “trendy”. Whew.
btw: gastroc = gastrocnemius muscle
