Monday? Check. Today is blah. I spent my morning doing some very boring, very repetitive data entry. I found out that I know more about navigating the new computer system than most of the other OS's. We are all, however, still waiting to be trained on it. Opening is in less than two months

Oh geez. Well, I actually had it (self diagnosed but all the symptoms were there) when I started massage school (on my feet a whole bunch all of a sudden when I wasn't used to it) and I researched it as well as asked my instructors. I'll just tell you what I know in case you didn't find some of it online. One of the most common suggestions I've heard for PF is to rolling your foot around on a tennis ball or on a glass coke (or whatever brand) bottle. My grandpa even did this years ago when he was afflicted with it. Stretching your foot on stairs or curbs are really good ways to stretch them. Any massage should help it for immediate pain and to lessen the condition overall if you keep up with it. I mean, just doing it yourself would work or making your brand new husband do it would work too. Heh heh heh. Heat from a foot bath should help too b/c it'll allow the fascia and muscles to relax and stretch out. Good, supportive, non-heeled shoes would probably be good to wear. PF is usually the worst when you wake up (although it wasn't for me) so stretching your feet when you get out of bed would be a very good time to stretch them. Also, try not to sleep with anything (heavy blankets, animals, whatever) pushing your feet into the pointed toes position b/c that just gives the fascia and muscles that are already tight more opportunity to get shorter and tighter. Hope that helps.
