My partner has a sore achilles tendon from increased mileage while training for a marathon. I am trying to encourage him to try Bikram yoga to see if that might help, he is sceptical. So I am wondering what you think. Would it be a good idea?

Hi Marilyn

Yes, it could be a good idea but it does depend on a number of factors. What is your partner’s approach? Is he still running?

Namaste

He is still running but now thinks he might possibly have plantar faciitis(sp?) Either way I still wonder. He is seeing a specialist tomorrow and should know his diagnosis then. Thanks for your reply.

Hi Marilyn

Plantar fasciitis and problems with achilles tendon can be confused and even overlap!!! See what the medico says. In the meantime do a search on this forum for ‘plantar’ and you will find some worthwhile discussions and ideas.

Namaste
