Balls!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am feeling frustrated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I recently broke my toe. I don\u2019t know for sure as the NHS don\u2019t X-ray toes (Fair enough!?) Since the injury I have been getting intermittent pins and needles in my arm. I KNOW this is connected to the toe being out of whack, it makes total sense to me as I have never had this condition before. I am one whole being, living in a mobile muscly body suit after all. The injured toe is effecting all of me! But tell that to a doctor or nurse. NO, I am told, the arm is not connected to the foot! That I am wrong! This is a complete nonsense to me! Of course the arm is connected to the foot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So this morning I have decided BALLS! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is 6 weeks on, so any break is healed enough, I hope, for me to manipulate my foot myself with a golf ball and hopefully push or release the bone back into place. Frustration is leading to me feeling a bit like someone resorting to pulling their own tooth out! My arm has got really painful, whilst still being totally mobile. I just KNOW the pain is coming from something being off in the foot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, while I am playing with my ball (wish me luck) I thought I would share this with you…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is something I do with my Alexander Technique students as a fun demo that everything IS CONNECTED! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No Science expinations but it works. Try it out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you feel after massaging your feet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is EASY, FREE THERAPY FOR THE WHOLE BODY! Keep a golf ball handy for a little bit of daily ease! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
PS. The horsy expression NO FOOT NO HORSE has been on my mind a lot these past few weeks, as I have been unable to drive to work or even draw!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(My apologies if I have offended anyone in the medical profession with this blog, absolutely no offence intended. I do however, find the lack of whole person, whole body, ‘holistic’ thinking frustrating! And whilst I understand financial constraints and totally appreciate the NHS, I wonder if an X-ray on an injured foot would give a road map for recovery for patients. The foot is a complicated structure, and how we use it impacts the balance of the whole body. Oh to be a millionaire footballer, I am sure my toe would be important!)\u00a0
