Thank you I just purchased the book. I just wanted to know how many times I should do this in a day ? Does there come a point doing more than a number of times becomes non beneficial for this type of injury ?

I really enjoy your videos, IG, and book. Do you suggest doing these exercises barefoot? Are shoes a progression or regression?
