Greetings,
I just came about this forum from a link in the Austin Barefoot Runner's Facebook Group Page. Below are a series of articles to help with making an pain and injury free transition into the barefoot lifestyle. Enjoy, feel free to comment, and post. I look forward to your feedback.

Hi Jesse,
imho, the single best suggestion I see in all your links is the use of the foam roller/tennis ball to release myofascial tissue.
It requires very little energy and doing so after exercise is a tremendous counter to my running, yoga, and swimming.
Not only does it feel great, but I am able to recover much more quickly.
Requiring only a tennis ball, I can do this any time I need a break.
Thank you so much for suggesting this.
