2- email from a reader
from: Mikkel
I am currently treating a 15-year-old boy who as a child suffered
from left sided equinovarus deformity and was operated. His left
gastoc/soleus complex is underdeveloped, and he has impaired ankle
rocker due to bony limitations anteriorly in the mortise joint
causing anterior ankle pain when running and jumping. He has a
distinct limp on the left leg due to decreased ROM and pain. He has
an inverted calcaneus and forefoot valgus deformity on both feet
(left more than right). He pronates heavily through the mid and
forefoot to progress forward. Treatment thus far has had limited
effect on the pain symptoms. I've manually mobilized the tibiotalar
joint with posterior glides of the talus + given him exercises to
strengthen the anterior compartment.
Would you consider orthotics? I'm thinking stability shoe with
medial arch support maybe with a forefoot drop. Normally I would
prefer stability and strength training and foot tripod exercises,
but due to bone structure I have started to think, this isn't
enough. The pain limits him from running and playing soccer.
How would acupuncture fit into a treatment program in this case?
which points could you recommend?
Any additional info and inspiration is welcomed.
kind regards - Mikkel

6- EMAIL FROM A Blog follower:
Why do some muscles go weak and others not ?
First lets talk about tightness vs shortness. We are getting
exhausted from always hearing about tight piriformis, psoas hip
flexors and IT Bands.
Now, lets define 2 types of weakness.......
a- physiologic / disuse
b- neurlogic inhibition

The Talk Test
Researchers for the study put 18 well trained cyclists through two
identical fitness tests. In one test they measured the above
thresholds with traditional medical equipment. In the second test
they asked cyclists to say a paragraph while exercising. What they
found was that the cyclists’ “out-of-breathness” matched the
thresholds. “From our standpoint, the TT is very useful and almost
‘idiot-proof,’” Foster says.
