50 Pounds

While at the Doctor's yesterday, the Doc was reviewing my chart. He
shook his head and laughed. I asked what was funny and he replied,
"Gee, you've gained a bit of weight in the last couple of years."

I sighed, "Yeah, I know. Just lots of work and travel-no time to run.
I've gained about 40 pounds in the last two years." Doc said,
"Forty? Try 50!" You were 175 at your last check-up. Today we weighed
you at 224."

I then thought he was going to give me grief to lose some weight.
Instead, Doc said, "But in my opinion, your look better now!"

A friend asked about me about plantars fasciitis

Yep, had planters and it was awful. 

 

Everyone has their solution:

 

The Strapped Boot

 

The foot Rockers

 

 

Rolling foot over golfball, rolling foot over cold can of peas, etc, etc.

 

I tried them all, and only had a little success with the strapped boot.  Then I order this book:

 

http://www.amazon.com/5-Minute-Plantar-Fasciitis-Solution/dp/1598585517/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387303212&sr=1-2&keywords=planters+fasciitis

 

It is 100 pages or so, but only has one recommendation:

 

1)      Sit down and cross your legs by placing your angle of one leg on the knee of the other.
2)      With palm of your hand, grab the ball of your foot AND YOUR TOES, EXPECIALLY your toes and pull them in toward your shin firmly.

a.       Like you are trying to touch the top of your foot with the top of your toes.

3)      Hold 10 seconds and release.
4)      Repeat 10 times.
5)      Do 3 times a day

 

 

 

In essence, stretch the sole of your foot by pulling your toes (which is connected to your fasciitis) into your shin.

 

It worked!!!  But then I got tired of the 30 X 10 second repetitions every day.   Then it dawned on me, I could use a ACE bandage wrap, and loop it around my calf, ball of foot, and toes to pull my toes into my shin.  Then leave it like that for 10 minutes. Do 2-3 times a day.

 

Still works for me.

 

But the key is toes into shin!!  Many think you just need to pull the ball of your foot into shin, like so.

 

That is part of it, but not enough.  The actual toes have to be pulled in firmly toward your shin.  Believe me, you will feel the stretch when you get both the ball of your foot and toes pulled in.
