    Resmed equip need on CF (Resolved)

    I do have a caution---don't order if from the US and have it sent. With two attempts from the US, I never got a small massage gun that didn't arrive before I left---I deal with foot issues.

    Shin Splints. . .Exercises and Tips to Help Reduce Risk

    Thank you! I have saved this---it is a great guide. It prompted me to think about massages--i had several along the CF when I walked it last time.
