What really worked for me was Ice. After my run, ice for about 20 minutes. Then, when I got back from work (I run in the mornings), more Ice and for longer time. I also stretched tons before and after the runs.
Very slowly, but very slowly, it got better. It took me months, but I never stopped running. I could not do fast running (it hurt a lot when i did do it), but I was building base, so it did not really matter, most of my runs were 'easy'. Hope you heal quickly .... good luck.

It really helped his hamstring problem, and it is still up-in-the-air if it is helping his capsulitis (in his foot). Let me know if you want his contact information, I am sure he would be more than happy to discuss what he thought/thinks with you.
