Soccer Player Gastroc Tears

Only seen him 1x so far, last week. He's 27 yo and has been playing soccer (recreationally) since he was little, loves it and wants to get back ASAP. He came in for R calf pain (dull, achey, worse at end of day after being on feet all day). History of multiple gastroc tears (11/2024, re-injured 05/2025, and again at the end of 2025 but is feeling much better since the start of 2026.

He also has a history of R quad and labrum tear in 2023/2024, currently asymptomatic. He pointed out a divet in upper R thigh.

This is what I treated:
1) Motor Points: R TFL (super tight like a rock), R glute med ant, R glute min, L TVA.

2) R calf adhesions Inline(4 points) followed by guasha

For further treatment, should I add:

  • Gastroc motor points?
  • Achilles paratendon treatment (in ankle webinar)?
  • Divet in the R upper thigh - should I address this in some way?
  • Other?

Follow up case discussion: I asked about a M/55 y/o groin pain case a few weeks back. I was able to do treatment to reduce pain in the area when we discussed obturator nerve issue but it turned out to be a hernia. I had referred out the patient for assessment with his primary care and they found a hernia and they will follow up with surgery. I am unsure if the hernia might have been due to a weight loss procedure he had a few weeks before having the issue. He was having to wear a compression vest post procedure.
