Not sure Seenie will be here for awhile though she often Makes a liar of me. She is currently taking some time to recover from some recent procedures.
I hope she’s doing well - please pass along that I’m thinking of her.
Freeze a couple of bottles of water to put your feet on. I have to ice down my arches to get relief. I found some ice wraps on Amazon for $10 each that freeze fast and have velcro an elastic. Work well when my wrist hurt too.
Every tai chi instructor I’ve met labours the point that nobody should do anything they don’t want to. They know that medics advise Tai Chi for just about everything and therefore aim to include everyone regardless of ability. It’s tons gentler than most gym activities!
There again, an ex-military bod told me that she finds Tai Chi bizarre - so apparently gentle, especially compared to the training she’s endured in the past, but somehow it can end up feeling like a damn good work-out.
