As I mentioned recently, my foot has been killing me. It's been almost three years since I had my fall, causing a lisfranc fracture. And, for nearly two years I've been finished with occupational therapy. And, these last two years my left foot has had very little flexibility. My left toes barely wiggle. My foot is so tight. The recent dancing has irritated it and caused some swelling and aching. Finally, I felt like it really just needs to be loosened up quite a bit.
What better way to loosen it up but through a massage? And, why just have your foot done? Why not have the rest of me massaged while there? So, I made a lunch appointment on Friday for a full body massage. When I got there I talked to the massage therapist at length about my injury and asked her to dedicate a large portion of time to my foot. She did and wow.... she really, really loosened my foot. I could immediately feel the difference. My toes can move and it's so much more flexible. It's still no where like it was before the accident. But, this is the first time since the accident that I actually feels as though my foot is close to normal again. She suggested I see her for my foot a few more times in the near future to increase the flexibility. And, while I'm there... I guess I'll have to take care of the rest of me, right?
