From the Author
"About The Discovery Of The New Foot Health Solution"
Every revolution has to start somewhere. This one started with foot pain. It started with my foot pain.
The starting point was rather odd. The pain was in my big toe which had an ingrown toenail. Normal shoes pressed against the toe, making it hurt.
So, I purchased a pair of big toed shoes called Earth Shoes. They were very odd looking with their low heels. Those shoes were touted as being very comfortable for most people - but some did complain and couldn't wear them.
My ingrown toenail definitely felt many times better. However, my arches began to hurt something fierce. Those original Earth Shoes had bumps just ahead of the heel which caused pain if you didn't have a good arch and my arches were terrible.
One article I read stated that some people loved their Earth Shoes and some couldn't wear them. Being one of the latter, I reasoned that if some loved to wear them and I couldn't stand the pain from them, I must be doing something wrong.
So, I looked and looked. My Architectural training probably helped. In short, I discovered how to fix my feet. I wrote about it. You can find out for yourself what I did by Ordering and Reading "A New Foot Health Solution" Now.

a big letdown,
By A Customer
This review is from: A New Foot Health Solution: How to Help Heel Spurs, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendon, Flat Feet, Shin Splints and Foot Pain (Paperback)
I bought the ebook version of this and was disappointed. It is a workbook format which presents a understanding of why plantar fasciitis occurs -the tendons and ligaments are strained because they are doing work meant to be done by muscles. The "foot arch muscle" gets weak and so the foot arch collapses causing plantar faciitis and other conditons. So you strengthen the "foot arch muscle". The "foot arch muscle" is not in the foot but in the calf and you are supposed to keep it tense and "walk the right way" - toes pointing straight ahead. oh and you can do calf raises - up on your toes and down. that's about it.

Waste of money,
By HBMommy "HGS" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A New Foot Health Solution: How to Help Heel Spurs, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendon, Flat Feet, Shin Splints and Foot Pain (Paperback)
This book is a complete waste of your money. It is written for a simpleton. This book lists on Amazon for an exuberant amount of money making one believe the content must be valuable, with the intent that you will buy direct from author's site believing you're getting a deal. I was suckered!I found myself feeling as though I was reading a book for a 4th grader. Both my wife and I laughed that I was suckered into buying this. The 1st chapter which can be downloaded from the author's website is fairly well written making you believe the book may have some intrinsic value however, it is a total let down once you view the rest of this book. There is better, (if better can even be suggested?) more accurrate information for free on the internet if you simply search. I would have returned my copy but it was not worth the time or effort. I threw it in the trash so dissappointed. If you are suffering from arch pain as I am, this book will not solve your problem. It does not even provide enough education to justify selling it. This book is nothing more than an explotation of one person's realization 15 years ago that arch pain can often stem from having flat feet. There is not much more to the book than that. I would have rated it zero, but the rating system only goes to 1. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Overly simple and full of mistakes.,
By Louis S. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A New Foot Health Solution: How to Help Heel Spurs, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendon, Flat Feet, Shin Splints and Foot Pain (Paperback)
Book Review: "A New Foot Health Solution" by Dennis DenlingerI strongly do not recommend this book. This is an old book created by an architect/engineer who used shoddy analysis to derive a couple overly simple techniques. His engineering background evidently didn't help him much, as Mr. Denlinger makes a number of gross biomechanical mistakes in this book. He attributes flat feet to "under pronation" and a "high arch" to "over pronation". Quite the opposite is true - flat feet are pronated too much and high arches do not pronate much. Denlinger does not understand the very *definition* of foot pronation, which is fundamental to the it's role in plantar fasciitis and it's function of the arch. He also attributes the "main arch muscle" to the peroneal tendon and related muscles, which is also grossly incorrect. Tightening the peroneal tendon everts the foot which relates to pronation and flattening of the arch - it does not support the arch. In 84 pages, he wastes a lot of time describing how he "discovered" his technique and gives very simplistic descriptions of bones, muscles and tendons that would be appropriate for a 5 year old. In his "workbook" section, he states "Muscles move the body around and can move other things around..." Then he asks, "give three examples of things muscles do (like running, lifting, etc.)." Unfortunately (or fortunately) he does not give answers to his questions, so I guess I'll never know if I answered this correctly. What is his "secret"? In a neutral position with toes pointing straight ahead, you press with the ball of the foot to the floor in such a way that you "create an arch with your foot". And the only exercise he suggests is "toe raises" to strengthen the "arch muscle". He does not provide any stretching exercises. Denlinger gives an inexcusably misleading lesson in functional anatomy and only offers a couple simplistic exercises. Exercise and stretching can be beneficial to foot problems, but you won't find quality information in this book. Plantar fasciitis is caused by many different things, and a podiatrist can provide you with stretching and strengthening exercises custom for your situation. All of the plantar fasciitis exercises are also easily found for free on the web. Regards, Louis S. |
