Hey everyone it has been a while since I have posted but here goes. This month has seen a lot of people comming in with plantar fasciitis.
As well you know Florida is the flip flop capital of America and tile floors are everywhere. Add to that gaining a few pounds over the 4th July weekend and the pressure on our heels is amazing.
HELP IS AT HAND! (or at least at foot)
Here are my tips
Get softer flip flops, or wear sneakers
Put a gell insert in your hard soled shoes
Use ice every night for 15 mins under the heels
Stretch out the Achilles tendons
There are alot of treatment options available to you at physical therapy also:
massage
Stretching
ultrasound
electrical stimulation
iontophoresis
phonophoresis
cold laser
