Dear Paul,
Your sentiment regarding that if a compromise is made at one joint another suffers, is exactly what I am saying by the application of a splint that creates compensations elsewhere, but does little to correct the primary problem.
regards
Tony Achilles

Dear Stanley
Thank you for clearing up my miscomception.
It just goes to show the we are totally connected and that if a compromise
is made at one joint another suffers.
The great osteopath Fryette said (as regards to spinal motion) and I feel
this applies to all joints, 'when a joint is hypomobile in one direction
it will become hypermobile in the least desirable direction'.
I see this often in dysfunctional feet. Hypomobile joints in abduction and
pronation moments will demonstrate the reverse in supination and adduction
movements.
Over the years I ave noticed on very numerous occassions that joints
hypombile in one ankle will be hypermobile in the opposite foot. This is
best seen as the 360 degree spin pattern on one shoe (in females over 80%
on the right) and longitudinal scratch patterns with toes wear where they
kick the ground (the foot they trip on).
I can almost bet that is the female patient has the spin pattern on both
shoes or has the spin pattern on the left shoe, she will get headaches.
This is purely an observation of over 80000 feet.
I have yet to see any headche patient have normal foot mechanics. If only
the profession could get this message and pass it on, 'if it is leaking in
the attic check the beasement (the foot)
Regards,
PAul Conneely
