Went to the physiotherapist today because of my foot. Well, mostly because of my foot, but it turns out both of my legs are in bad shape from the knees down. Apparently I've been a bit too enthusiastic with my walks the past three months. Particularly considering how bad I've been at stretching after my walks, and how suddenly and intensely I started walking.
The muscles in the back of my calves are way too tight, and if I keep this up for too much longer, without loosening them up, I might reach a point where my legs will break down completely for a while. So he showed me a couple of simple stretching exercises that I should do once a day, even if I don't walk every day.

As for my right foot; There are some additional problems, but nothing too bad. It probably just didn't heal completely after I miss-stepped several years ago, so the foot is kind of loose because the muscles aren't strong enough, and I just have to concentrate about walking correctly. He also showed me an additional simple exercise that I could do when doing the stretching exercises, that might help fix things.
I'm going back there in two weeks for a follow-up. I don't expect it to be a lot better by then, but hopefully there will be a bit of a difference.
Tenkte meg det du ikke hadde så godt av og gå såpass mange og lange turer til og begynne med og det og tøye ut etter trening er veldig viktig men det blir ofte glemt oxo må det gjøres men kroppen enda er varm og det glemmer de fleste.

Trenger faktisk ikke gjøre det mens kroppen fremdeles er varm. Det gir vel best effekt da, men om man ikke har mulighet til å strekke ut med en gang, så er det bedre å ta det så fort man kan enn å bare la være. I hvert fall i følge han jeg snakket med nede på fysio'en i dag. =P
