With your left leg rotating in that manner there are all kinds of compensations going on.<br /><br />Feldenkrais is a very powerful modality that can help you explore lots of challenges and very much help you run easier, more comfortably and more eficeintly. Even if you need to take some time off from running there are a lot of ways we can slowly get you back.<br /><br />Running is a beautiful form of movement and one thing that comes to mind is that when you move fast (i.e. running) you can only move with "what you know," so slowing the process down will bring lots of other compensations to light. I look forward to talking with you soon!

I pulled a great move in the Mine Falls Trail Race last night. I was going over one of the "moguls" in the last mile (small hills on a trail of rocks and roots) and my legs got twisted going down a 5 foot slope. Down I went, fortunately I turned it into a somersault and landed on my back with the wind knocked out of me. Got a bunch of cuts and road rash, but collected myself and was happy nothing was broken and continued runinng. What's it with 50 year olds crashing all the time? I may be tumbling down, but I ain't dead yet!Jim Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350710709762823429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577216999808543384.post-42942656321067322192009-07-27T16:03:00.598-04:002009-07-27T16:03:00.598-04:00One line keeps going through my head.

He has done marathons, ultramarathons (including Western States), and triathlons (including an Ironman)so at least he should understand my mindset as well as how the body functions and moves. I may set up an apppointment. I have also noticed that there is some people comparing Feldenkrais to Z-Health as both deal with movement and focus in on the nervous system: <br />http://www.davedraper.com/blog/2009/04/29/a-year-of-feldenkrais-training/<br />JimJim Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350710709762823429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577216999808543384.post-6822312685617876862009-07-27T14:19:49.891-04:002009-07-27T14:19:49.891-04:00Hang in there, Jim!

I can't guarantee that the Feldenkrais will work long-term, but I'll give it a shot myself.<br /><br />I feel there's an answer out there somewhere...Matt Metzgarhttp://www.mattmetzgar.comnoreply@blogger.com
