p.s. my post should not minimize the disabling effects of the various tendinoisis i have fought including Plantar Fascitis and nearly every part of my body. It just isn't the NUMBER ONE Complaint that I would resolve if given a magic wand.
also, i have had PT on most of these body parts. And do love it, but it gets expensive and i wonder, if it is CHRONIC what is the POINT... i can heat and ice at home...
and so the question asking for EVIDENCE (meaning studies, etc)..
