I recently injured my back while cycling. As spinal fractures go, this has to be the least severe one possible, but there is still some pain to manage. So I found a good physiotherapist anot she has been massaging the knots and spasms out. Because my appointments happen at various times in my work day, I normally wear a tee shirt, sweat pants and sneakers. If I'm not going back to work afterwards, I'll bring a change of clothes for after my session. You might have guessed that I bring a skirt, top and heels, typically 3 inch wedges. So I change into my femme outfit and head for the front desk to pay and leave. I make no effort to conceal what I'm wearing, so the staff must see but there have been no comments.
Until last week. My physio says "I notice you wear heels sometimes." Which launches us into a discussion about shoes. (She's quite small so she likes the extra 4-5 inches of height whereas I don't need the height but I love how it makes my legs look. And so on.)
And now the best part. She told me there's a little secret that wearing heels is good for relieving my type of back pain. Just what I need, right? A medical justification for having a collection of heels! Woo-hoo!
