Hi Everyone! Following-on from my Instalment No. 23, here is No 24 in which I comtinue to try and help Cheryl and anyone else interested in the high-heel-wearers' calf/tendon shortening problem:
From my memory, The lady health specialist at the health farm wrote-down the following exercises and guidelines more or less as follows:
1. Until you have successfully reversed the situation sufficiently to be able to stand and walk comfortable in bare feet, either abandon high heels completely, or only wear them for a smallish part of each day.
2. Early each morning soften your tissues with ten minutes' heat treatment - the health farm's steam room or sauna, or at your home a hot bath (or these days, a jaccusi!).
3. If available, immediately afterwards further soften the tissues with a massage but only from a good professional masseur.
4. Lean forwards with your hands bra
2. Further |
