And your cute height-building heels definitely shorten/tighten your Achilles-- kick 'em off whenever you can. It took an ankle injury to get me into sensible shoes and I've almost managed to convinve myself I look sassy and athletic walking around in my work clothes and my pink New Balances ;) (try not to gasp with horror).tfhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735303292996192352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997667205750740717.post-45776324315317904242008-09-25T06:45:00.000-07:002008-09-25T06:45:00.000-07:00One of my running buddies had achilles tendonitis ...One of my running buddies had achilles tendonitis and ignored it, and now she has to have surgery because its on the verge of a rupture! Take care of it. Stretching and flat shoes help. High heel shorten your achilles tendon too.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Steve, definately if you can find an ART therapist, go!

If you can find someone that can do ART therapy (Active Release Techniques), go check them out. ART helped me a ton!!

I'm dealing with a mysterious hip thing that's not going away, so I'm off to the torture doctor (aka PT) next week to have it looked at, as ignoring it is not helping. :( For both of us, let's take care of these little things before they become big things, k?
