17. Very glad that you found relief

I have a chiropractor that was a physical therapist. He does things that no other chiropractor does.

That excruciating treatment was to get the fascia of your muscles to release. When it gets tight like that it causes pain and weakness that you describe.

The deep tissue massage that your therapist did hurts like hell, but when it is over you’re essentially cured.

My chiropractor cured my plantar fasciitis while my former podiatrist gave me 3 ineffectual steroid injections and recommended rhizotomy (nerve ablation). It took 5 visits but the plantar fasciitis has not returned.

Old bodies (I’m about to turn 64) do some really weird things that are very serious in terms of mobility and daily function.

Glad you found the right person.
