I just got back from my physical therapist checkup.  I’ve been running a few days a week, but still getting some calf tightness.  The PT staff asked me how my legs were feeling and then placed me back in the foot pressure sensors and had me perform some walking.  I’m still not where they would like to be from a pressure distribution standpoint.  Mark, the main PT recommended that I should get orthotics since we weren’t getting rid of my problems with exercises alone (definitely some improvement, but apparently not enough).  To create a mold for the orthotics, he pushed my feet into what looked like a shoe box filled with a blue dense foam.  I go back in about two weeks to get the orthotics.  Hopefully they will reduce my injuries and get me back to running full-time.
