Hi there

I have the same issue (Tenosynovitas of the Posterior Tibialis) (MRI diagnosed)

I got it from mountain running in non supportive footwear.

I stopped running in April ’11

I did a couple of classes of Bikram a week during the summer and loved it.

However, by August I started getting some pain in my arch and plantar when I walk. I don’t know if the Bikram contributed to this or whether it was just a general degradation in my condition – i did get some pain during the balancing postures.

I got orthotics too and they haven’t noticeably helped.

I believed Bikram would help, so I went back to it in November – I had planned to do it 4 times a week to strengthen everything.

After the first class back I felt good but the next day the old familiar pain was there and it felt as thought the Bikram had aggravated it. So I stopped. I was limping!!!

Should I go back and try again>?

Does Bikram help or aggravate tendonitis?

In the balancing postures, what should I do?, how should I plant my foot? Should I lift the arch?, I am quite flat footed.

Advice much apprecaited. Do you know of anyone practicing Bikram with such chronic foor problems?

Andrew.
