Anyone used a Powerplate for a calf injury?

Once a Sprinter ... Nov 2011 9:16pm, 2 Nov 2011 45 posts	0 Once a Sprinter ... I have been having problems with my calf. Tightens up badly after a couple of miles and is very sore & solid. I have access to a Powerplate. Does anyone have experience of using one for treating injuries (or even as a cross-training tool?)

Got something to say?
