I’ve been delinquent in my postings the last couple of weeks.\u00a0 This lingering heel pain has continued to be just that – lingering.\u00a0 It became slightly worse and, as a result, I haven’t done any barefoot runs in the last couple of weeks.\u00a0 I’ve been staying with my minimalist shoe runs hoping things would improve but they haven’t.\u00a0 I’ll get on the table right away the fact that this heel pain is not<\/strong> a result of barefoot running.\u00a0 In fact, one of the things that has attracted me to barefooting is using it as a way to strengthen the feet and help resolve this pain.\u00a0 I developed really bad Plantar Fasciitis in 2008.\u00a0 I got new (flexible) orthotics to help calm it down, with the intent of weaning myself off of those.\u00a0 In Jan 2010 I successfully did that.\u00a0 It’s this last bit of issue in my left foot I’m trying to eradicate.<\/p>\n

I went to my Podiatrist yesterday and he is strongly recommending a sequence of ASTYM.\u00a0 He said the Plantar Fascia on my problem foot is really <\/em>tight.\u00a0 I’m very enthused.\u00a0 I’ve read a lot of great things about ASTYM.\u00a0 After all the work and studying I’ve done around orthotics, foot strength, etc. I’m very interested to see how this goes.\u00a0 One of the interesting aspects of the technique is they want you to do some level of activity while going through the process.\u00a0 It helps retrain the tissue while it’s going through the healing process.\u00a0 I’m going to have to leave it up to the PT as to what he recommends in that regard:\u00a0 What type of activity and how much.<\/p>\n

As somewhat of an aside I ended up talking to the Podiatrist about barefooting in general.\u00a0 He was very supportive of it and thinks it makes sense.\u00a0 He said his concern is when he sees people that think the form issues “fix themselves” when the shoes come off.<\/p>\n
