Daquis aggravates foot injury


RC Cola-Army’s starting open hitter Rachel Daquis sat out much of their five-set loss to the Foton Tornadoes after an awkward attack approach in the first set.

According to Army’s physical therapist Paula Tomas, the Golden Ticket holder wore out the heel and calf of her left foot after consecutive long matches. Before this five-setter, Army had lost back-to-back matches to the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers over the weekend, one of which had also been a five-setter.

“Sobrang tight kasi ng calf niya. Ang possible reason noon is ‘yung sa approach niya,” Army’s team doctor said. “Kapag nag-a-approach kasi siya, more on sa calf lang.”

“Since yung calf naka-insert siya sa may heel, ang nangyari dahil nga sa sobrang tight, nabanat ng nabanat nagkaron ng bone spur sa may ilalim ng heel,” Tomas explained, adding that Daquis had recurring plantar fascia issues.

“Ilang lang days na yun na namaga. Pinag-rest namin siya tapos dinala siya sa doctor para nga lagyan ng muscle relaxant yung sa calf. Kaso nga lang, ganoon pa rin ‘yung pain niya,” she furthered.

“Kanina nung pag approach niya, pag push-off niya, may na-feel siyang pitik. Parang may napunit. So bukas, pupunta kami sa doctor para i-ultrasound at makita kung ano nangyari dun sa may bone spur niya.”

Daquis declined to comment on her injury, but she managed to walk out of the De La Salle Lipa Sentrum on her own.
