The Burly Bodyworker

Its Finals week. This term was an opportunity to exhale, and put it all in perspective.
At the end of next week, I will have 1 yr completed.

After 2 weeks, Finals are over for me. Term 1 of Chiropractic school has been more than educational for me. I have gained new friends and learned where my short comings are.
But this is not over. I'm more emotionally prepared and going to take my 2 week break to become a better student.
The journey continues...

Term 1 Finals start today. This is my view for the next couple of hours while we group study.

Love this post from the gang over at .physiotherapy 👏

The plantar fascia/arches ✔️
⬇️
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common forms of foot pain. The plantar fascia is a band of tissue that spans the bottom of the foot, originating at the heel (where pain is most commonly felt).
🦶 The plantar fascia helps support the arch of the foot. Although it plays an important role in foot function, it can be overloaded over time. Plantar fasciitis is essentially tissue overload causing pain at the site of attachment (the heel).
⬇️
The plantar fascia doesn’t work in isolation. Although it plays a big role in supporting the arch, there are many other players in the arch support system that must be taken into account:
• The intrinsic muscles of the foot.
• The lower leg musculature, which attaches into the foot/ankle and helps support the arch and create a rigid lever.
• The hip, which is a huge factor in foot function and control of the arch downstream via the torque and stability it creates for everything below it.
⬇️
All of these elements are necessary for functional feet/arches. Getting to the root of plantar fasciitis often involves strengthening these other ‘arch support’ tissues and building better overall stability.
⬇️
The feet are loaded with muscle. Clinically, foot strength is often lacking in those with plantar fasciitis, and this is one of the potential reasons it is getting overloaded. Part of any treatment should be to gradually build up strong, robust feet that are capable of handling repetitive load.

My daughter turned 12 this year and wanted to share with her friends her new passion...Archery. The bug bit me as well and it was an amazing time with these young ones.

Encourage something that creates stillness in your children and yourself. We are over stimulated and the more calm and stillness we can find will lead to a more fulfilling life.
