Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot is overstretched or overused. This can be painful and make walking more difficult. The most common complaint is pain and stiffness in the bottom of the foot and heel. The pain may be dull or sharp, achy or burning. Very common in runners and anyone starting or increasing exercise programs.
The pain is usually worse in the morning when you take your first steps, after sitting for a while or after intense activity. The pain may develop slowly over time, or suddenly after intense activity.
Massage Treatment plan for Plantar Fascia:
Gentle warm up, Myofascial release, realign the fibres of the plantar fascia, stretch the plantar fascia. Massage and stretch all the lower leg muscles that attach onto the foot.
Self care:
• Roll the sole of the foot over frozen juice can.
• Foot & lower leg stretches as seen below
