I always thought getting a massage from a lady called Candice would be an altogether more pleasurable experience..!
Was reading through this thread after a minor strain at bottom of left hamstring but which hasn't affected my running thankfully. Anyway I had to chuckle at PB's comment here as my physio at Horsforth Sports Injury Clinic http://www.physioworld.co.uk/ is 'a lady called Candice' and has recently regularly given me a massage - calf massage guys!!! as well as ultrasound, laser & acupuncture treatment for achilles issues.
