Good afternoon @pacer3702. On Mondays and Thursdays I have MFR (myofascial release therapy). During the session one of the therapists uses MFR on my feet. After the initial pressure, they use their knuckles to release the constricted tissue on the bottom of my feet. This brings back the sensation that they are alive and sensitive to objects like the gas petal and the brake.

I feel an obligation to be a safe driver and to not place myself or anyone else at risk. Then I do the "Legs up the Wall" yoga pose every day for a few minutes as part of my at home neuropathy exercises.

Have you been diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy or some other type of loss of feeling in your feet?

May you be content and at peace.
Chris

Chris - where would one go to get MFR? Do you know if it’s a therapy normally covered by insurance? Thanks, Debbie

@pacer3702, I'm back with some additional information for you about those feet. Here are the correct words that denote the process for keeping me driving safely on the road.

"Bilateral leg and foot release followed by soft tissue mobilization of the plantar area using cross-fiber friction techniques."

Hello ~ Thanks for the info. Please who does this? Neurologist, podiatrist or massage therapist? I would like to inquire with the proper person.
