The contact button on the black bar at the top works for me. 15 years ago! Seems like yesterday. Though, if I may suggest, it may be time for your tuneup!

The wrist/thumb injury in particular is related to the small bones of the hand as well. Perhaps the interosseus membrane of the forearm and other factors are in the picture, too. But then, you have been reading these blogs enough to know that the problem can be related to other places besides the hurty spot. Hi Mary, yes, this is in my background and experience.

]]> Comment on Fix your own dang Bunion: The 8 step process by Susan http://www.rolfinggrace.com/2010/09/fix-your-own-dang-bunion-the-8-step-process/#comment-7039 Susan Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:16:35 +0000 http://www.rolfinggrace.com/?p=298#comment-7039 The change in sensation of foot on the floor is quite extraordinary. I will certainly persist. I have also been walking and running barefoot with the hope of improving my foot health and preventing any deterioration in my mild (at this stage) bunions. The possibility of actually improving them is a big motivator. One question - is there anything similar to help with a mallet toe? My impression is that it is a problem the muscles/tendons having tightened up. I can manipulate it to be straight, but only with quite a bit of force and it goes back to its curled up position as soon as I let go. Thanks for posting these instructions and the associated video.

Please don't start the exercise until the doctor says it is okay to stop the airboot. It would be a great gift for yourself to find a Rolfer in your area, as well as the exercise.

It would be a good idea to find a Rolfer in your area as well, because this broken bones event could have problems for your whole body balance. Be sure and wear your boot as long as the doctor says.

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:32:14 +0000 http://www.rolfinggrace.com/?p=298#comment-5220 I have watched the videos  as well as read the blog and I must say I am excited to try this method. I am female pushing 40 with a genetic disposition to have bunions. It started a few years ago on the left foot and I have changed shoes, etc. It was doing ok until I broke my left tibia and fibula back in November. Surgery, 13 screws and 2 plates later I am in an airboot still with no weight bearing. This thing is really causing havoc with my bunion. My question is do you think I could start these exercises as soon as I can put weight on my foot? My calf muscle is almost none existent at this point. What do you think?  Thank so much in  advance.
