TotalPerformance | How to Find Relief for Foot Pain

A woman in her 40s came to our clinic complaining of persistent heel pain that had been bothering her for several months. The pain was particularly intense in the morning, making it difficult for her to even get out of bed. After a thorough evaluation, our physical therapist diagnosed her with plantar fasciitis. Her active lifestyle and love for running had put excessive stress on her feet, leading to plantar fasciitis. The pain had significantly impacted her life, forcing her to give up running and other activities she enjoyed. We created a treatment plan that included a combination of pain management techniques, strengthening exercises, and a gradual return to activity. Pain Management Initially, we focused on reducing her pain and restoring mobility in the foot and calf through manual therapy techniques, proper recovery routines, and mobility exercises. Strengthening Exercises As her pain subsided, we introduced exercises to strengthen the muscles in her feet and calves for proper support and to reduce stress on the plantar fascia. Return to Activity We gradually reintroduced her running routine, starting with shorter distances and lower intensity. We also educated her on proper footwear, warm-up and cool-down routines, and injury prevention strategies. Over the course of several weeks, she experienced significant improvement in her pain and function. Best of RUNNING TO FOOT PAIN RELIEF
