After the ionto calmed down the initial "I can't walk more than 100 yds" acute pain, my tendinitis really didn't get any better for about two months -- I couldn't run more than three miles at a time -- and just a few sessions of postural release massage basically made it go away.
I had something similar done (for my elbow) - they called it strain/counterstrain. I also had fabulous results - but I don't fully understand how it works.

Sorry for the hi-jack. I hope you feel better soon, KSH!
