20 Years of Chronic Foot & Back Pain to Running Again

before and after

I was introduced to FP by an Ex. Phys friend with an open mind. I have always followed traditional approaches to my training and movement patterns. My injury management has also been status quo. I’ve had approx 20 FP sessions with Shane which has been a combination of release work and movement pattern training. I have not run for over 21 years and was forced to retire due to major ruptures of my plantar fascia in both feet. Two surgeons wouldn’t operate on me and one gave me a 5% chance of recovery post surgery. I recall the Morning I woke after training and couldn’t walk to the toilet due to the pain in my feet. I was prescribed orthotics to manage my foot pain. I am far from achieving my goals, but I have been able to return to short interval running/walking sessions a few times per week, and feel more connected when I move. I am not using my orthotics anymore. I’ve also seen a decrease in lower back pain when doing my other activities. I ride a bike because I couldn’t run so It’s nice to think I can incorporate running into my lifestyle going forward. Cheers
