Mid 60's male who had polio at 5 years age that affected the left low leg and foot. No deformity of the foot but no foot extension capability and weakened musculature all round the foot but a very tight Tendo Achilles.
Comes regularly for chiropody treatment and over the last 6 months I've taken to mobilising the joints and putting stretch on the muscles. This was done as a part of the treatment, from my own curiosity but without him knowing why. From the outset he claimed to have been tripping up less with this affected foot.
I can think of some reasons why but wondering if any others who have done this can comment. He has booked in for 3 once weekly sessions with a view to massage from just above the knee and mobilisation of the joint downwards. The aim is to see if this improves things further.
Any comments welcome, so too any input.
Thanks
Ian
