Medicine Cabinet
link offered for foot problems

Dennis Denlinger says "Many runners experience foot pain and shin splints. In the past all that could be done is rest, special shoes, pain pills and surgery. Now a new discovery gives the runner tools to relieve foot pain, flat feet, shin splints and other foot problems in certain cases by teaching how to use the foot arch correctly."  For more information visit his web site and quote the RHAC website as where you found it.
