Yes it was. I have since then have had plantar fas...also Morton's neuroma. Neck pain all have resolved. I still run and cycle although less .we tend to take things for granted.... Human nature I guess. For me it's has been being aware of my self if that makes sense. I did have issues to resolve in the very beginning. 2016. I have never had a sore lower back except for heavy physical work which leaves after 1 or 2 days which is normal I work construction. I still have Steve's book by my bed and I read maybe 1 page a week.
