Foot Pain: As we get older,  we pick up certain habitual patterns that contribute to how we feel and move.

Personally I have had issues with my right foot for years from a childhood sprain and twisting. The best I felt was about 20 years ago after going through a Rolfing 10 series.  After we finished,  I remember feeling so great and actually standing taller that I decided to study Structural Integration (SI) myself.  For years now, I have been doing SI work and I have seen miraculous changes with my clients. But since I have integrated Craniosacral Therapy, some Feldenkrais that I learned and a few basic tools into my daily practice and table work, I have shared these concepts in order to help others.  I like to see people get better!

So here is what helps me and my clients:

  1. Structural Integration helps the whole body come into alignment.  Myofascial relationships shift and work more efficiently with gravity.
  2. Craniosacral Therapy (CST)  relieves dysfunctional issues in the cranium and brain, and also with the fascia.  In addition, it helps to enhance fluidity around the joints and in the tissues and to support a nervous system that helps clients to feel balanced and more vitalized.
  3. The below tools have helped me too and give me a sense of self-empowerment to change.

The roller, red ball and Yamuna foot fitness tools can be used daily to break up old patterns in the feet.  But this goes way beyond just the foot.  As the tension there begins to melt, the tissues going up the leg and trunk change too.  You will start to feel your hips changing and your posture relaxing.  Use your daily practice as medicine, and I invite you to go out on a limb and find some good bodyworkers to facilitate.

Good-Bye to Foot Pain!

Blessed day and blessed feet to you!
