Rehabilitation: When you injure a body part, the loss of strength, flexibility, balance, and cardio can be the cause of significant injuries as you begin to work out again. Typically a physical therapist can help reduce the loss of function as you recover safely. Dr Rich Blake

YES: Did a dr. keep you off weightbearing, or your choice? Regardless, the advent of walking after prolonged non weightbearing can cause a lot of new stresses to the foot, resulting in fasciitis and metatarsalgia. Sincerely, Dr. Latva
