heel pain in both feet
Hi Esther -

I attended your class in Portland recently - thanks so much for the introduction! I picked up your book, and from what I've learned so far the method seems to make a lot of sense.

I have a number of problems that I am just now beginning to piece together. I've had low back pain on and off for about 10 years, and heel pain in both heels pretty constantly for about 4 years. The heel pain tends to be a pretty dull ache that doesn't really ever go away. I've seen so many doctors it would be hard to list them all. I've also got a minor lingering shoulder injury that should have healed but has been around for more than a year.

Anyway, I think that your method is the answer to these problems. My posture is poor, although I am working on it. What can you recommend to help alleviate the pain in the heels? How long do you think these changes will take? I'm currently going through the Rolfing series, which has been helpful, but I really am hoping to kick these problems and get into a life of good posture.

Thanks so much,

Greg

It's going to take more info than you are offering to give you a good answer - info about what makes it better and worse and info about your posture. I recommend an online session (we use Webex - you need a computer and either a headset or a phone) with a Webcamera on you. in general, the lessons in the 8 Steps book will help you improve your posture which, as you have intuited, should help your various problems. Also note that we have just scheduled me to return to Portland in the Winter to teach the Gokhale Method Foundations course - highly recommended.
