Candace Nebrich feeling thankful . True story: For the past 7 weeks, Ive been running 4-5 days/week training for an upcoming 5K. Every morning while running, both my feet would go so numb that I could walk on rocks with virtually no pain directly after my run. Being a medical provider myself, I had no logical explanation for this. It didnt occur any other time, but would our like clock work within 15-20 minutes of starting to run... I could almost set my watch by it. I decided to seek the opinion of several of my colleagues. Everyone had a guess, but no one had a definitive diagnosis or solution to my problem. I tried different shoes, socks, lacing techniques, orthotics... you name it I tried it. Finally after seeing a podiatrist, I was told that it wasnt a foot problem, but rather a back problem... No way I thought... I dont even have back pain... I kind of blew that theory off and had all but decided...well, Candace, maybe its time to follow your own advice. If it hurts, dont do it... If your feet go numb when your run and thats the only time... well dummy just stop running. It wasnt until after 3 sessions of Thurmanetic Boot Camp that I noticed one day... oh wow! My feet didnt go numb!!!! Ecstatic... is hardly the word! The only explanation I can offer up is that after some core strengthening... it took enough of the pressure off my back to prevent pressure from being applied to my lumbar region nerves, which is what was making my feet go numb. The most encouraging part of this story to me is that progress / wellness/ transformation was made in a very short period of time. 3 weeks later, Im proud to say my feet have not gone numb since! Thank you Thurmanetics... you truly made a difference in me!
