Yeah if your arches are high then running would def irritate that. Your ankles are spraining trying to stabilize your foot
Jumping rope just woke up the pain.

Totally guessing!  I would browse on runners forums.

You aren't slightly bow legged by any chance
I've always wondered what causes that...

I know flat feet are associated with knock knees (I have this) curious if the inverses is true

oops

total body support pillow, helps keep everything more "neutral" while sleeping on your side, i use pillows to keep my shoulders from flopping around, now im doing something similar with my hips, a body pillow would be useful

Anyone who's been told their legs are different lengths should read this

been "releasing" my pec minor with my hands.

it is superior to stretching i think



you can see it there, its hidden under pec major.

so if raising your arms like that, your armpit feels tight inside, its pec minor...if its the outer part, its your lats.  mine are both shortened/gridlocked.

I haven't been following this thread... but based on the profile picture Gunson took during my consultation, I have pretty bad forward head posture.

If my neck is in good vertical posture, my jaw is almost completely absorbed into my neck.  To avoid this, I've developed this forward head posture.  Gunson has me down for almost 2 cm of advancement (lower jaw), so I'm hoping this corrects the problem (mostly a posture I've developed from being self-conscious of the neck chin look - which is SUCH a bad look).

In any case, I've been trying to work on my posture for the last 6 months or so.  But, I imagine I have a long ways to go to get used to a normal posture.

Yup I didn't realize how underdeveloped my jaw was until I did a "slight chin tuck" (activates the Longus colli and turns off the scm) instructed by my physical therapist

Are you getting surgery with Dt. Gunson ?

Yeah, I'm actually going to be scheduling my surgery date soon.  Of the 3 surgeons I've consulted with, his plan was vastly superior to the others... the cost, of course, is another matter.
