www.buzzfeed foot-pain-relief-carolyn-peters-technique_n_7616154 Foot massages, special socks, custom shoe inserts -- those who suffer from foot pain have likely tried it all. But what you might not realize, athletic trainer Carolyn Peters says, is that the source of your pain may not even be in your feet. "Common foot pain is actually increased by calf tightness," Peters says in the above #OWNSHOW video. "So a lot of people don't realize they've got some tender spots in their calf." By applying pressure to trigger points in your calves, Peters says many people will feel relief in their feet. The first step is to check for tenderness by pressing on the length of the calf muscle. To start, sit on the ground and extend your leg. The reason this technique works, Peters says, is because it focuses on the connective tissues that surround the calf muscle. By applying pressure and moving the joint through a range of motion, you help the affected connective tissue to elongate and loosen up, Peters says.

Why Can't I Play Printable Version "Why can't I play the way I practice?" "Why can't hit my best shots when I need them most?" "I don't understand what happened, I was playing so well all week. Is there a player who hasn't asked these questions? Is there any way to bridge this gap between practice and competition? The performance gap between the ability to hit shots in practice versus matches is a fundamental barrier every competitive player must overcome to realize his or her potential. In this article, we'll take a look at the four barriers that keep players from playing the way that you are really capable. There are four primary barriers that impede the quality of a player's performance in tournaments. The first barrier is insufficient self-awareness. Sounds simple, but my experience shows it's a major problem for competitive tennis players. For example, a player will miss the same ball over and over, but make absolutely no effort to adjust what he or she is doing technically or tactically. Why?

Burpees Exercise: Lose The Fat In One Simple Move That was the drill every morning in middle school. I hated it.
