really? holy moly, that scares me that we're still stuck in the 90s here (but doesn't surprise me!). I am in Auckland and would appreciate any recommendations, thanks! | |

| Hey thanks RicF for your post. Yes I've tried all manner of stretching - holding for 30 secs up to 2 mins - and a wide range of exercises to strengthen or realign but still the goddamn thing hurts like anything just walking around. I was even told it could be a neural pathway thing related to pain so tried therapy for that, various different orthotics, acupuncture, a bathe in the Ganges, even a psychologist as I wondered if perhaps it was psychosomatic! All to no avail and the surgeon seems to think this will work so curious about anyone else's experience as I'd never heard of this technique. I lived in the UK for many years until just over a year ago so also wondering how NZ fares with latest research and techniques compared to the UK... | |

Hi there I've had a crazy year of no running and a lot of pain thanks to what has been diagnosed as a problem with my posterior tibial tendon ('tib post') and despite months and months of strengthening, stretching, rest, massage etc it's no better...i've been referred to a surgeon who is advocating an operation to lengthen my calf. Has anyone had any experience with this? Anyone else had nightmares with tib post? I'm currently in NZ but feel I would travel anywhere in the world to get this sorted so if you also know of an amazing specialist please let me know! | |

An interesting update - I got a second opinion from another podiatrist who said I was wrongly diagnosed and it shouldn't have been that painful (I hadn't even been running in them). He then replaced my old orthotics which had worn down, with a new pair based on the same mould and I ran in them straight off, no breaking in at all and I am virtually pain free. Dramatic difference! It helps that they weren't that dissimilar to the old orthotics I'd been wearing, but had just worn down.
