Just watching how you turn as you walk will teach you a great deal about the role of your hips in body movement, and how to focus there for solutions to certain aches and pains, including so-called plantar fasciitis, and so-called iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS).
I’m so glad I started endurance training in my 50s, for a better old age, thanks to my triathlete son, Nigel, as it sure is helping me to handle my 70s. This resulted in fascinating studies of body-awareness and to an increased focus on biomechanics (how we move). This insight led directly to:
- My discovery of the underlying cause of so-called plantar fasciitis.
- An effective therapeutic approach to crippling peripheral arterial disease.
- An understanding of endurance training for a better old age, and believe you me, aging is most certainly the toughest endurance sport I have encountered, so far.
- My ability to to stay in my favorite sport, Ironman Triathlon (signed up for Florida, 2020 – “No fool, like an old fool.”)
Life is good, as long as you do the work, while making it play.
Wishing you happy trails into your 70s and beyond,
