Plantar Fasciitis Physical Therapy Exercises

So, Just What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis is usually described to be pain in the heel of the foot, from inflammation of the plantar fascia (the connective tissue of the bottom of the foot).

The pain of Plantar Fasciitis comes about because of small rips and tears in your tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue of the bottom of your foot. This leads to tightness, which leads to injury which creates more tightness, which creates lack of circulation, which creates injury which creates more tightness ... which, well, you see that Plantar Fasciitis becomes a vicious cycle of pain.

The injury of Plantar Fasciitis begins a process of inflammation, which makes your foot and/or heel hurt more, that makes your nervous nervous system make your tissue tighter, and that traps the inflammation, which makes things more tight and causes more pain.

That's what is going on in your foot and heel to cause all the pain.

If you try to get over your Plantar Fasciitis using conventional means, you might find that they don't work. They might even leave you worse off.

Commonly, rest and anti-inflammatory drugs and Corticosteroid Injections are used to treat Plantar Fasciitis. Temporary relief usually will be found, but the Plantar Fasciitis is not eliminated.

Next, a doctor will want to start cutting on you. Surgery called Plantar Fasciotomy will cut the Plantar Fascia away from it's connection to your heel bone. Your Plantar Fascia tendon is there to help naturally support your foot. Without the Plantar Fascia providing its natural support your foot will begin to have more and more problems.

A Plantar Fasciotomy is like removing support columns from a bridge, not a good thing. You don't want to further weaken your foot support structure. Thankfully, Plantar Fasciotomy is recommended to few people as it is a last ditch effort to stop Plantar Fasciitis.

Sometimes people will use inserts, or supports in their shoes to ease Plantar Fasciitis. Commonly, you will see displays in drug stores that offer these supports. These may bring some relief, but maybe only for a short time because the main cause of the foot and heel pain is not solved. Adding supports to your shoes to ease Plantar Fasciitis pain is different than stopping the Plantar Fasciitis.

There are better options that actually work to end the vicious pain cycle of Plantar Fasciitis.
