Physical therapy

Courtney has been having problems with shin splints and plantar fasciitis.  Our neighbor is a physical therapist so I asked her what we should do.  She had Courtney go in to see her.  She messaged her calves and feet, she zapped (it's like a taser) her calves, and Courtney was given a message.  

They then wanted to check Courtney's running gait.  So they put Courtney on an antigravity treadmill so they could watch her run.

They discover that Courtney is really pigeon-toed.  When she runs, her one foot tends to trip her other foot, so she has had to overcompensate so she doesn't trip herself. They helped Courtney turn her feet so she isn't pigeon-toed and try to get her to keep it that way.  I thought it was cool.  They didn't keep her on the treadmill too long because of her feet and shin splints.  But they have some good data.

We are hoping that the physical therapy will help fix her shin splints and plantar problems so she can play soccer without pain.
