1. Plantar Fasciitis - If identified early more than ninety percent of plantar fasciitis can be adequately addressed by a combination of weight loss and passive plus active ligamentous/muscular stretches of the feet to develop and maintain balanced, normal motion and wearing good shoes.

2. Iliotibial band - Increased iliotibial band stress often occurs with increased impact force during running. IT band micro-injury often precipitates reactive tightening of the band, resulting in lateral torque force on the patella and related soft tissues. To prevent lateral thigh pain, knee pain and plantar foot pain related to the IT band, perform frequent crossed leg sitting stretches and improve the arch support of your shoes.

3. Balance - Walking is a bit difficult without good balance. Tai Chi, a martial art, has as its most important characteristics that it improves balance, endurance and ambulatory skills amongst its practitioners.
