Okay I'm back on the egoscue, as of last night before I went to bed. The whole day yesterday I had heel pain in my right heel. Not excruciating, but not fun. I find myself compensating by shifting weight to my left foot. Not an ideal situation. I haven't done any ecises in three weeks. But last night I picked up my copy of Pain Free and read the section about feet. And then proceeded to do the four ecises:
Foot Circles and Point Flexes
Supine Calf/Hamstring Stretch
Static Extension
Air Bench
and lo and behold my heel pain was gone for those last five minutes before bed. And still absent this morning. But is with me a bit right now in the late afternoon. The book says to do these four ecises until the pain is gone for 24 hours. Then continue for one week before switching to the overall conditioning program in Chapter 13. Which I might do. Or I might call Paul again and pay another $200 for the next five skype sessions/menus with him. But for now, definitely, I will do these foot ecises each day. Just fifteen minutes and my body feels better after doing them!
The book makes a lot of sense - I'm surprised the therapy is not more well-known.

Therapy not well known. Probably because you are the healer of your own body in this method. We are programed to defer to doctors but and they are symptom mangers for the most part. Nobody knows your body better than you.
