Injuries Part 2

Two days after experimenting with a new pattern of taping, I've been able to confirm that the problem stems from the arch in my foot. This is great, because now that I know what the problem is I can zone in on fixing it.
Taping is only short term (Until the end of the season), past then the plan is to use Orthotics. Orthotics would do pretty much the same thing as the taping, lift up the inside center of my foot. To create an Orthotic shaped that way I'll curl my arch by turning my knee outwards, and then standing on a moldable Orthotic that is placed on a foam pad. The foam Pad will push the arching area of the orthotic up, creating support for my weirdly shaped foot.


Another way I'll be working on to improve my foot is my Hip flexibility. I hadn't thought about it myself, but my Physical Therapist pointed out that because my hips aren't flexible, when I attempt to turn, my hips do less, and my feet do more. This whole process has been full of twists and turns, making it seem like a mystery. I will be studying to become a Physical Therapist next year, and my interest in this issue makes me think I made the right choice in major.

I'm going to try to measure my hip flexibility. There is only one movement (lateral movement) that I know Ill be able to measure without tools, but I'll try to improvise best I can.
