[quote=Anonymous]DD is a ballet dancer, not a runner but dancers have lots of foot issues/strains/tendonitis. Based on lots of PT, I'd say watch YouTube videos and learn and use as many PF and lower calf exercises as possible to strengthen and stretch your intrinsic muscles before you think about running - for a couple of weeks, 2x a day. Do lots of wall stretches, hang off the stairs etc. Consider using an ice bucket to soak after running and massage by putting pressure (while sitting) with a golf ball rolling around bottom of your foot daily. Definitely get fitted for shoes at Pacers or another running store and invest in good orthotics. Avoid walking around barefoot at all times. Salon Pas pads (with aspirin) from Costco/drug store can be used too. Good luck! Prevention will get you a long ways. [/quote]
