I had PT with stim therapy which worked wonders, I wear orthotics specially fitted by the doctor, and I never wear flats. Dansko makes wonderful sandals and clogs that I wore when I was teaching and now that I'm retired. They're expensive but last forever and are worth every penny. I'm now pain free.KathyAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723937251892708482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-53518711336371812332010-08-12T22:58:22.592-07:002010-08-12T22:58:22.592-07:00I'm so sorry, Linda.

We have some younger grandchildren, so I end up packing them around and my back kills me when they leave. :( <br /><br />I swim at the Y every morning, and I find if I keep up with that, it helps both my weight and my back problems.<br /><br />GL - hope your feet are better real soon.

I go to an acupuncturist that is the very best there is and he combines massage with acupuncture and has kept me moving for the past three years. He is a gem!<br /><br />SylviaSylvia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484577678585907669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-69118246577264643352010-08-11T16:36:29.373-07:002010-08-11T16:36:29.373-07:00Linda, Susan says she uses a sports rehab massage ...Linda, Susan says she uses a sports rehab massage therapist at her gymn and has him massage her feet and ankles. She says you can also find rehab massage therapists in other places but since one works at her gym she uses him. <br /><br />I don't think you have to belong to a gym to use those kind of people. I don't belong to the gym where my trainer rehab person works.<br /><br />She also says freezing a bottle of water and rolling your foot over it feels very good and she recommends doing your stretching exercises.<br /><br />The Superfeet shoe inserts (the pink ones) were also recommened to her and she found them helpful. She in turn recommended them to me and now I wear them in my shoes. <br /><br />Susan and I both wear running shoes rather than walking shoes because they're lighter.<br /><br />Hope you find relief soon.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-30245835763164372272010-08-11T16:11:39.225-07:002010-08-11T16:11:39.225-07:00Linda, read the suggestions on this website http:/...Linda, read the suggestions on this website http://www.ehow.com/how_2300055_do-sports-massage-plantar-fasciitis.html<br /><br />I'll talk to my daughter later this afternoon, if she's at home, and get back to you.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-75003216453175204242010-08-11T16:05:10.704-07:002010-08-11T16:05:10.704-07:00Isn't it always something?

I'm not sure where she gets that done, maybe the gym where she works out. I'll ask her more about it.<br /><br />I love your idea of doing as much as you can to make yourself look good, then leave it up to others to deal with it.

When I had the severe bout, I was in China and had a Chinese foot massage. That did wonders for it. The massage itself was rather painful, but oh, the benefits later! I, too, have to make sure I wear shoes with good arch support.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09782394068144501251noreply@blogger.com
