Plantar fasciitis

How myofascial release for plantar fasciitis works

The plantar Fascia is the first section of the Superficial Back Line. At the heel it is continuous with the Fascia of the Achilles and calf. Releasing the sole of the foot together with the calf reduces the pull on the heel, which is where plantar fasciitis is felt.

The Fascia involved

Why the calf matters for heel pain

Tight calves and Achilles increase tension along the sole of the foot with every step. Long days standing, a rise in walking or running and unsupportive shoes all add to it.

Session

Your session for plantar fasciitis

Ankle and toe bend are measured. The heel, arch and toes are released slowly, then the Achilles, calves and hamstrings. Most people notice the difference in their first steps off the couch.

Between sessions

Helping heel pain settle between sessions

Before getting out of bed, draw the alphabet with each foot and pull the toes back gently with a towel. That first step of the day is often the worst, and warming the tissue first eases it. Rolling the arch over a ball for two minutes and a calf stretch on a step morning and evening keep the line supple.

Supportive shoes around the house, rather than bare feet on hard floors, help while it settles.

Reviews

Myofascial release for plantar fasciitis reviews

★★★★★
It opened my body up loads to where I could train harder for longer, and recover faster. I've sent people to James with fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica and everyone has been helped.

After one treatment session with James I was moving better than I had before. After two treatment sessions I started to feel optimistic about a pain free future.

Questions

Myofascial release for plantar fasciitis: questions answered

How long does plantar fasciitis take to settle?

It often takes weeks to months. Regular release and calf care at home help.

Is it the same as a heel spur?

No. A heel spur is bone, and many cause no pain. Plantar fasciitis is soft tissue irritation.

What helps at home?

Rolling the sole of the foot over a ball in the morning and gentle calf stretches.
