Foot Problems? Foot Pain? Then read on!

-

For a very long time I was having pain in my heal after running and particularly I would have pain the day after running in the morning when I’d get up.  Sound familiar? 


It was similar to plantar fasciitis but only painful in the heal mostly the outside of the heal.  I was also having tightness in my calf and being a massage therapist when I worked it I felt swelling in the posterior tibialis   and retinaculum tendon across the top of the ankle.  I had a lot if issues going on! 


I would do a lot of things that would provide temporary relief but it always came back. It would get better if I stopped running but once I started running again I would have the pain.  I decided to go see Dr. Nick at Canyon Lake Neck and Back again. His Graston and ART provided some relief in the past.  This time he told me about a new laser they had and suggested that I give it a try it.  I was open to just about anything because I wanted to run pain free! He did his Graston and ART work and afterwards I’d get the laser and I did this for 5 treatments.  


I am so happy to report that my foot has been pain free for a month and I’ve been running the whole time!!! I have to give the laser some credit for this because although I was doing a lot to heal this injury the laser was the one new thing I added.   In addition to the laser I was  getting weekly massage work on it from a massage therapist, I was working my calf with my trigger point massage gun frequently, and I was using CBD ointment topically and taking it internally.  I wanted to write about it in case someone else is having similar problems and if relief is out there I want everyone to know!  







This is the triggerpoint massage gun I use on my calves.  I sell it for $165.  


I use the Crooked Cactus CBD products and the CBD Clinic CBD ointment.  I also sell both of those products.  


Let me know if you have any questions!  


This is where I received the treatment:

The Ironman Tattoo

I wanted to talk about the Ironman Tattoo . I am a fan of tattoos and actually have a few. I have completed 4 Ironman races and DON'T have an Ironman tattoo. I hope I don't offend anyone reading this who does have the tattoo. I feel the need to express my opinion (that is surely a surprise)! If you are one of the many with the tattoo please keep in mind I say all this in fun and I will still like you even if you have one. I might make fun of you but I like you. You might ask, what I have against the Ironman tattoo? I think there should be a disclaimer that a person has to sign when they get an Ironman tattoo. They should have to agree to complete an Ironman at least every five years for the rest of their life. If they don't agree to that they should not be able to get one! Too many people get the tattoo and then suddenly stop training and get fat. If you do one Ironman and get the tattoo then suddenly don't workout are you still an Ironman ? Then some people ...

Triathletes - to spin or not to spin?

-
You would think being a spin instructor I would tell everyone to take spin classes. Well the triathlon coach side of me will tell you something different. Spin classes are great for some people but not triathletes. There are many different reasons why triathletes should not take spin classes to improve their bike endurance. Some important reasons are listed below: Most spin instructors NEVER ride outside and would not know how to design a workout specifically for a triathlete. Even if they did most people would find it really boring. Spin classes are typically fast, high intensity, high aerobic effort. When you are just beginning to build your endurance on the bike you should do some training at a lower intensity. People flock to spin classes because they love the fast pace, group environment, specific music each instructor chooses, and they love to sweat. You will get ZERO bike handling skills. How will you learn to maneuver your bike if you are never outside on it? You need to get th...

Tools To Help You Swim

  I've been coaching people in the pool for over 15 years.  I have coached people who were advanced swimmers and people who didn't know how to swim at all.  I recommend every person who swims regularly to use swim equipment.  Swimming equipment will help you improve your swim and also break it up so it's not so boring.  Here is a list of equipment and reasons why I recommend each piece of equipment.  Pool Buoy - this goes between your legs and will help you focus on your stroke because you will not have to kick at all and the buoy will help your legs stay afloat.   Amazon - pool buoy Fins - fins are great to help beginner swimmers. It will make learning to swim a little easier.  Fins are also great to use to do drills.  Drills are important for beginner and advanced swimmers.  They help swimmers focus on certain aspects of the stroke.   Amazon Fins Kick Board - kick boards are used to practice your kick and I also have new...
