He started me off with some transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy and ultrasound on my right foot.
He compared my leg lengths. He lifted my ankles and shook my feet.He commented that my right foot is much looser than the other and diagnosed me with a 'floppy foot'. He explained floppy feet are very loose-jointed, overly mobile, and have a tendancy to overpronate.
He examined my 1012's and agreed that a stable, supportive shoe is what I need.
He recommended I start doing isometric exercises on a daily basis. These static strength training exercises are performed by contracting a muscle against resistance, without joint movement.
I'm just relieved the isometric exercises can be done in conjunction with the posterior tibial tendonitis exercises.
In other Green Girl news, my beloved Canon SD700IS has seen better days. It struggles to focus and I keep ending up with blurred images. The pictures are also either too dark or so bright that the colors are washed out.I was trying to hold out for the Canon PowerShot SD4000IS coming out at the end of this month but the initial reviews are not impressive.
Now, I'm seriously considering getting a Canon PowerShot S90.
As long as the camera takes incredible pictures and fits in my hydration belt pocket, I should be a happy Green Girl.
