Chiropractic Treatment

Adjustments to my dysfunctional foot joints and ankle joints, and ART on my calf and shin muscles to take the pressure off my feet.  I had a substitute intern today, so the soft tissue work was a bit light.  Most soreness in medial calf again.  SI joint adjustment as well, but only required on the left side.

Foam rolling on my calf muscles, with medial calf giving me problems.
Also went on the vibrating machine again, wheeee!

Finally, squats on a Wobble Board, which will improve the proprioception in my weak ankle joints.
20 squats @ BW.  Felt great!

Chiropractic Treatment

My weekly appointment at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College clinic, with a 4th year intern, supervised by a clinician, who is a foot specialist.

Adjustments to my dysfunctional foot joints and ankle joints, and ART on my calf and shin muscles to take the pressure off my feet.  Most soreness in medial calf.

Foam rolling on my calf muscles, with worst being the medial section, although was much better on the second pass.  Then I got put on a stand-up vibrating machine to loosen up all my muscles (5mins.)

Finally, squats on a Wobble Board, which will improve the proprioception in my weak ankle joints.
20 squats @ BW.

Chiropractic Treatment

My weekly appointment at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College clinic, with a 4th year intern, supervised by a clinician, who is a foot specialist.

Adjustments to my dysfunctional foot joints, and ART on my calf and shin muscles to take the pressure off my feet, although the pain was much lesser today.  Also, and adjustment to my SI joints for the same reason.  My cuboid foot joint is still really tender to the touch after 3-4 months of treatment.

Also did foam rolling on my calf muscles.

The last part of treatment was an introduction to squats on a Wobble Board, which will improve the proprioception in my weak ankle joints.   10 squats @ BW.

I will also have to bring heel raises into rotation at the gym.  Straight feet, toes pointing out, toes pointing in, one-legged.

Chiropractic Treatment

My weekly appointment at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College clinic, with a 4th year intern, supervised by a clinician, who is a foot specialist.

Adjustments to my dysfunctional foot joints, and lots of ART on my calf and shin muscles to take the pressure off my feet.  Also, and adjustment to my SI joints for the same reason.  My cuboid foot joint is still really tender when pressed after 3-4 months of treatment, so I don't know if I'll ever get this fixed.

Finally got the referral from the clinician to a craniosacral therapist to look into my running cramps.  Unfortunately I cannot afford his services without extended health care.
