Plantar Fasciitis Under Control

I have been having plantar fasciitis for a couple of months and because of me taking care of my feet and stretching them out, I am good as new....mostly. I am thinking about running again but I will see what the treadmill says first.

Feet Hurt Again!!

My left foot and partially my right, has been suffering from Plantar Fasciitis again. This time I didn't let it go for over a year and have been working on stretching and keeping from working it to much for the last few months. I can honestly say now that I have been feeling better and my feet are getting back to where they need to be. I went to the gym last night and was on the elliptical machine for an hour and my feet both felt good. Now my calvese are sore but that it is to be expected since I haven't worked them for awhile.

If you ever get Plantar Fasciitis, I would highly recommend start stretching 3-4 times throughout the day for 30 seconds per foot.

Plantar Fasciitis Part 2

Within the last three weeks from now, my foot has been really feeling good...no, great. My foot didn't start feeling better until a friend of mine from work found some scrap plastic rod, about 2.5inches in diameter. I have been stretching my foot on it and messaging my foot as-well.

The key to curing yourself of this is to stretch.

Plantar Fasciitis

For the last 6+ months, I have been having a huge amount of pain within my left foot. It started with both feet hurting and then I went to China to give training. I received a foot message over there and both feet felt great after that. I then played racquetball after that and my left foot started to hurt again to a point that it was hard for me to walk on my left foot. I had to stop lifting and cardio and concentrated on healing that one foot.

I have been meaning to go to the doctor and find out what is going on on that side. I went into the clinic and we took some x-rays and found out that nothing was wrong. All of the joints look great and the bones look very healthy. (That is what exercise and lifting does for you. Healthy, Healthy, Healthy) We did some more exploring of the feet and it appears that I have Plantar Fasciitis.
In short, Plantar Fasciitis is the tearing of the tendons due to overweight, intense use, flat feet, poor shoes, anything dealing with high strain with the feet. It can be avoided by stretching. Stretching is so important and I was not doing as much stretching as I should have and now I plan for stretching before any activity.
