H Leslie, thank you for the informative foot tutorial! Do you have any advice for working on recovering from a running injury on the side of the heel (Inflammation on the side and above the calcaneus bone)?

In this time of quarantine, your goal is to get the swelling down and use your time for rest and healing. Once quarantine is over, check with a doctor or Pt. Not sure why you have this injury; a trip, footwear or movement habits. 

Thank you Leslie, the icing feels good as do the foot exercises in your tutorial. The injury most likely was from being an inexperienced runner, it felt great when I was running on beach sand but when I ran on pavement was when it occurred.

Really interesting, thank you!!!

Thank you Lesley, a terrific tutorial on our fascinating feet! I'm looking forward to learning more from your other tutorials.

Thank you Leslie for an amazing tutorial for the feet!! Very informative !! I have struggled on and off with foot pain as long as I can remember. Now I have been recovery from plantar fasciitis and this was so helpful in showing me how to get more out of footwork. Kelly

Shin muscle pain from running

There are new videos on Pilates Anytime site with Sherrie Betz.  She recommends the ability of being able to do 25 reps of single leg standing releves (tippy toes raises).  Most of us are very weak in our calves and its relationship to standing.

I have a question concerning the movement of the talus. You said that the talus is moving the same direction as the femur does. So stretching the leg and going going further onto the toes the talus goes in as  the femur does?
My irritation is that years ago I learned from M. J.  Blom about the healthy bonerhythm in Plie:
Calcaneus pronates, Talus supinates ( internal rotation), and tibia internally rotates, femur externally rotates.

Thank you for that great series Embodied Anatomy! Please do more of this!!
