Foot extensor tendinitis
Hello everyone. I’ve been having a lot of pain on the top of my foot. It happened because of a trip I made to Japan in which I walked all day. Then I came back and went to pole lessons and it got worse. I finally went to the doctor today. He needs X rays to confirm it’s not an issue with the bones (hopefully) which I had done today but he said I will probably need a couple of weeks rest. Any ideas on how and what to train that won’t involve using the foot? It’s painful even to walk, so standing on my toes is a definite no. I’m going to mainly focus on flexibility until I can use my foot again, but I don’t want to lose the strength gains I’ve made these past few months in the upper body.

Ouch, how did the x ray turn out?
As far as other training, for now focus on flexibility as you mentioned or try working on the conditioning lessons, or even give hooping or chair work a try!

I will get my results from the X rays tomorrow. I’ll keep my fingers crossed it’s nothing on the bones! And I’ve been hooping too! I actually made two hoops with your tutorial Veena 😀😀😀 Chair work sounds fun too, I hadn’t thought of it!!!
