Thank You Jackie
Hey Jackie,
I wish I was over in the UK to assist you with this matter. My advice is to find your local physiotherapist and give them a call. If they are any good they should know which direction to send you in. Tell your brother to keep up his efforts; they will be worth it in the long run! Make sure you support him to the fullest.
Always Evolve,
Mike
hi! just got here after looking for physical therapy on wordpress. i will be checking on your blog.
I am impressed with your blog on plantar fascitis. I am a physical therapist and currently have a non-atheletic patient with sufficient dorsiflexion, great ankle strength, and a descent arch but I could not avoid his obvious forward lean in his trunk! I have been searching for a supportive connection to my conclusion that this was likely the source of the plantar fascia irritation. At least I know now that someone else might agree with me! Keep up the good work.
Hey Charlene,
The biggest person to get on board and probably the hardest one, is going to be that patient. It’s such a battle to convince patients, even after all the educating in the world, that their foot pain is only a symptom of the movement/postural dysfunction. Sahrmann’s work is amazing, and I could not agree with you more than MSIS is a wonderful book.
Always Evolve,
Mike
