Plantar fasciitis (Read 2599 times)

snicole


    I had plantar and didn't run for a year upon some very bad advice.  I finally found a really good (and old school) podiatrist who fit me with orthodics and I was running again in 1 month.  Before you go spending money on other things (like deep shock therapy which did nothing for me) make sure you have checked out whether you need orthodics.  I had a fallen arch in one foot and whenever I go without my orthodics (on a daily basis) for about a month, the pain comes back.  I needed to write you... b/c I remember my despair one year ago when I thought I would never run again.  It will go away... you just need to find something that works for you.

            I believe bzaganjo meant manual therapy of the foot.

              Always helps if shes cute

               

              Yea manual therapy of the foot/ankle, all the recent research is saying that helps more than the traditional heat, ice, stretch, ultra sound, etc...

                        Symptoms are the manifestations of a disease.  Cause is the underlying problem.  Minimalism is the opposite of orthotics.

                            What are the specific cause and symptoms of PF. Explain how minimalism addresses the cause.
