You can also try Chi Running. There is a book and they also have camps nationwide on how to teach you to retrain your posture to be injury free. I did look...
I tried acupuncture and had moderate success, I just couldn't afford to keep it up as my insurance wouldn't pay. I have just concluded 3 1/2 months of...

Alli, I agree with you. But Ive tried changing shoes, the strap doesn't work for me. I guess the next thing is running form, but will that really help it? ... ...

Sorry Sarah I know nothing about acupuncture. My current PT thinks I should try it though. Does insurance cover it? Is there a good one in NYC? Try ART. What...
Dear Sarah, Active release combined with physiotherapy is the best treatment. As most of us know who go through it, active release is no picnic. Painful! ...
