Plantar fascia pain

Plantar fasciitis isn’t a true inflammation, and is more correctly termed a fasciosis or fasciopathy. It may also involve ‘heel spurs’, but whatever the case, it will certainly give you lots of pain! Those of us with high or low arches may be at risk for developing plantar fasciitis,
particularly so if our biomechanics while walking, running or dancing isn’t addressed.

What relieves it?

The first step is to avoid activities that cause you pain. Using ice after activities and the occasional anti-inflammatory may help. After a few days to weeks, soft tissue therapy and a specific strengthening program are required to reduce the tightness in the surrounding structures and improve the way you use your body. Your health professional will be able to monitor your improvements and alter your release and strengthening program as you require.
The aim of your rehabilitation program should be to correct your biomechanics within and above your foot. You may also wish to continue your rehabilitation program after you return to sport to reduce the likelihood of a relapse.

Release and Mobilise

These are passive changes applied to your tissue. That is, you apply a force to relaxed tissue and the tissue changes on its own. That change may be in relation to the length of the muscle, such as treating trigger points (release) or the movement of the joint (mobilise).

Activate and Strengthen

These are active changes applied to your tissue. That is, the muscle we want to change does all the work. We sometimes need to use a small and subtle contraction to ‘wake up’ the neural pathway to that muscle (activate) before we can adequately add more power (strengthen).

This program is aimed to supplement the specific advice given to you by your experienced clinician. The program is not suitable for acute pain. If pain increases with any activity, stop and see your favourite health professional!
