What Can Myofascial Release Do For You?

Treatment of the Feet
Inspiration for this section came from a radio commercial that I heard this morning. A franchise-type shoe orthotics store
had a testimonial from a woman who stated that prior to coming to this store for orthotics, she could no longer walk
barefoot. After using the orthotics, her pain was gone...but no mention as to whether she was ever able to go barefoot as
a result of the orthotics. There are certainly many people who's foot deformities are severe enough to warrant the need for
shoe inserts/orthotics, but in my experience they are many times unnecessary. Orthotics and custom shoes simply support
the abnormal posture or tightness of the foot. There is no other therapeutic benefit. While using the orthotic may reduce
the pain, why not eliminate the pain? Myofascial Release is a highly effective means of creating lasting changes in tissue
length and alignment. Use your feet the way they were intended.
