Re: OT- running and knees, alexander technique

[Guest guest]

Interesting!  I think my injuries are definitely due to both excessive body weight and over training.  I cannot wait til I can run 3-5 times a week injury free!I'll have to listen to this later, thanks Judy!

You'll get there!

 

This morning on NPR's morning edition had 2 very interesting programs (you can listen to them at http://www.npr.org/programs/morning-edition/)

The first discusses how runners really don't develop bad knees if they are fit and don't over do it..My take is for me walking is best for now until I drop at least 30lbs and get stronger legsThe second is on the alexander technique for back issues... My sister is a choir director and uses this technique.  The thing is she has terrible rheumatoid arthritis and this has really helped.

have a good onejudy
