2) NEVER walk barefooted! Even on carpet. I bought some supportive house slippers.
I understand everyone has different experiences, but for me barefoot was the key to fast recovery. Back running full distance after 3 months, and I am totally convinced it will never come back. My foot has never been stronger. None of the 8 points in your plan treat the foot the way it was intended during our 100 million years of evolution.
I stumbled across a remedy, which was the opposite of what my osteopath prescribed, when I read an article on all the foot problems we have in the west, that result from being constantly shod. I looked up some barefoot forums and these guys are laughing at PF. For them it's about as bothersome as a paper cut, gone before they've even noticed it. I tried it, again, against all professional advice I'd received, and within 2 months ...gone! No socks, boots, splints, anti-inflam, new shoes, ice, reduction in running or stretching. But as I say, this was just my experience
