More post lyme healing: Left foot finally getting better after decades

I finally hit the jackpot ion finding the source(es) of my foot tightening (like plantar faciitis (but not)). Bottom and top of foot used to tighten up after sometimes only 20 min of standing / walking, it was bearable but annoying. I figured this would be a life long injury by now...............well, . maybe not.

Been doing my typical soft tissue detective work but more focusing on referred pain (pain far from cause/source). Found it and now doing different workout/gym machine to work this muscle and tendon. Applying Penetrex after and was doing DMSO to that spot last month.

Its just weird that so much of my muscles and tendons seemed to be glued/semi-stuck to their surrounding tissues. This takes so much recovery time. Drs are/were 100% usless on this, yes 100%. What I learned was from younger chiros who practice and preach more than "cracking". Old school chiros mostly just "crack joints", which does ZERO for tendon and muscle issues.

Joints get out of place because of tight muscles and tendons.......so old school chiros are backwards in thought...thus keeping you going back to them !! Remember its BALANCED tension of muscles / tendons that keep joints aligned, not the other way around. The younger ones will even admit this.

Ive gotten results from Egoscue method. His books I find useful. Ive used the exercises for my SI joint and they help. I did go to a clinic while helpful it wasnt worth the cost. I could get the same thing out of reading and experimenting with my body.

You are the first person I have seen mention Egoscue. My brother taught me a few of his exercises in his book and I used them during my triathlon seasons. Really helped keep my hips aligned and injuries away.

"Pain free A revolutionary method for stopping chronic pain" by Pete Egoscue

Its broken into body parts, arms, legs, back, hips, neck. Worth a checkout at the library. They are simple exercises to get your body into proper movement patterns and strengthen muscles to hold it there.

Sounds like a good follow up to Clair Daveis "Trigger point Therapy Workbook" and "Frozen Shoulder Workbook".
