Physical Therapy: Frontline Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis
The Gold Coast Physical Therapy team’s knowledge of your body’s musculoskeletal systems means we can help you treat plantar fasciitis without invasive treatment methods (like surgery). While rehabilitation might take some time (usually a few weeks to a few months), you can resolve your pain through targeted foot exercises. Here’s what you can expect when you visit us: • A thorough evaluation: Besides reviewing your symptoms, we’ll conduct a comprehensive gait assessment and other movement screens to help us identify any biomechanical factors that might contribute to your plantar fasciitis. • Pain management: We’ll help manage your acute pain through hands-on manual therapy techniques, foot taping, and other drug-free approaches. • Therapeutic exercise: Stretching and strengthening exercises will help resolve your current bout of plantar fasciitis. We’ll provide you with a tailored exercise program, including simple exercises you can do at home to help maximize your recovery. • Prevention tips: Plantar fasciitis is usually an overuse injury, meaning it develops gradually over time. A frequent cause of plantar fasciitis is starting an intense new workout program (as Sarah did). Faulty gait mechanics and other lifestyle factors can contribute to it as well. We’ll provide you with customized advice and strategies for avoiding future incidents of plantar fasciitis. Got Foot Pain? Call Us Today!

Vegan Recipe of The Month: Vegan Chorizo
Ingredients: • 2 cups soy crumbles, super firm tofu or vegan beef crumbles • 6 cups vegetable broth • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil • 3 cloves garlic minced • 4 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon chili powder • 2 teaspoons ground cumin • 1 teaspoon dried oregano • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1 teaspoon salt • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
Directions: In a large non-stick skillet or pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the soy crumbles and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the crumbles and press them well to release as much liquid as possible. In the same skillet, add the vegetable oil and warm over medium-high heat. Add the drained soy crumbles and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until they dry out even more and become a bit golden brown. Now add the garlic, paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, cinnamon, salt and white vinegar. Stir until well combined and cook for about 10 minutes. Serve immediately in tacos, burritos, on nachos or perhaps with tofu scramble. Enjoy!
