6 FOCUS - JUNE 2015 The expo a pre-race event where vendors sell marathon gear was cool Ben recalls. And huge Rorys review of his visit contained a twist. Bostons a great town. Id love to go back this time without the 26-mile run Running even walking any distance wasnt in the cards for days afterward. Friday after Mondays race was my first run Ben comments. The legs were stiff to start but it felt good to be out again. Following up the Boston Marathon could prove as challenging as the race itself but all three have plans. I may run an ultra-marathon a 50K trail race at Blue Mountain Ben says. That mightve been my last marathon Rory reports. But if my daughter someday qualifies for one. Sabrina had originally targeted Boston as her swan song but that tune may have changed. I wasnt happy with my time so I might do another one this fall. Ill be able to train on longer warmer days. Whatever their competitive futures theres no question each will continue running. Its a lifestyle choice a daily challenge which none would forsake. And added to the strength of that bond now is the knowledge theyve successfully answered the challenge of one of the worlds elite athletic events.

Natural Health FAQs Can Orthotics alone fix all my foot problems While many patients do get immediate relief it is important to realize that orthotics are only one piece of the puzzle. Most patients require foot therapy to help correct the injury and are advised to buy better footwear such as motion controlled shoes. Will Orthotics fit all my shoes Most patients get multiple pairs to meet their needs. We can make larger more supportive pairs for runners and boots and small low profile orthotics for dress shoes and even most heels. How long will Orthotics last The plastic used is durable and resilient and can last for years. The top covers and padding can be replaced at any time. However the feet tend to change with time and we advise a gaitscan a minimum of every two years. Do I need a doctor referral for registered massage therapy No. Although many physicians refer patients for massage therapy treat- ments RMTs are primary health care providers who assess and treat independently. However some insur- ance claims do require referral in order to be reimbursed. Can I ask Stephanie to increase or decrease the pressure During your massage if the pressure is either too light or too deep please make sure you tell Stephanie. She wants you to receive the service you are looking for so your feedback is important. How will I feel the day after a massage Most clients feel great the next day. However depend- ing on the service and the pressure that you choose it is possible to experience a little bit of short term discom- fort in an injured area. Make sure you inform Stephanie so she can make adjustments where necessary. She may also advise you to use ice or heat to calm the area. Dr. John Tompkin D.C.
