Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I had my first massage in several years on Monday. After, the therapist was showing me the area on the side of my right thigh that is where IT band muscles are. I had burning, searing pain there about 12 yrs. ago when I worked on my feet. The pain went away after i quit working on my feet, but the area has always felt kind of numb. The therapist said that she could really feel how tight those muscles were, and that possibly getting some orthotics would help. Having my arches well supported might ease the tension on this IT band of muscle. So, my question is, orthotics are pretty expensive, so I'd only have one pair. I guess I'd probably put them in my tennis shoes, right? How long do they last? Can they be switched to other shoes if needed? I almost never wear dressy shoes, so it's basically my tennis shoes or a pair of Land's End mocs. TIA for your answers. Jeanne in WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
