Help with Riding & Plantar Fasciitis in one Clinic!

Hi James
I hope that you are doing well! Since your last clinic (my third), I have made amazing strides!!!! As you know, my horse is very spooky and easily startled. (Although you have never met him, I talk about him enough!) So anyways, I made a decision to go back to the basics. So, to the unenlightened eye, it looks like all I do is walk and trot! However, being able to trail ride and ride outside without it being a roller coaster ride is amazing!!! We even encountered bicyclists-and I didn't die!!!lol Anyways Thanks!
Ok, so now on to my other breakthrough. I work in a very busy and demanding Orthopaedic Office. I am an X-Ray tech and we all work 10 hour days with a half hour lunch break. All of us have had bouts with plantar fasciitis. It is a painful disease of the ligaments in the arch of the foot. There is a standard course of treatment, but non of my coworkers experienced any long term relief. I started teaching them about Standing Meditation and how to walk (the James Shaw Way) and ALL of us have had at least a change for the better. Some of us, like myself, have had complete resolution! I swear it was from the changes that I learned at one of your clinics! Thanks so much. Looking forward to working with you again soon!
