Specialist Treatment And Prevention Of…
Plantar Fasciitis
Firstly don’t ignore it. Plantar Fasciitis can be chronic and enter a phase of disrepair where the body fails to recover, and then you can struggle to get rid of it. Research highlights at 10 years after it started 44% still had symptoms when not treated. Reducing the pain does not mean its cured, it simply puts you into a better position to manage and work to a full recovery.
If you do start to develop Plantar Fasciitis or there are signs you think it could be, rest and protect the heel area. Stop any triggers such as the sport or hobby making it worse. Avoid going barefoot, slippers or flip-flops. Wear cushioned, supportive footwear, including trainers.
Keep active – don’t become afraid to weight-bear but equally cut down on long periods of standing and overuse. Practice stretching exercises, taping the ankle and arch of the foot to stabilise the foot.
Anti-inflammatory medication or ibuprofen don’t help much unfortunately.
Don’t use ice unless you have a diagnosis this can be helpful or a hinderance to recovery.
If the pain lingers or does not settle down an assessment with a professional is recommended, along with an exercise plan to create stronger feet.
