🦶 Understanding Plantar Fasciitis: Your Path to Recovery
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that runs across the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. It's one of the most common causes of heel pain, often feeling like a sharp, stabbing sensation especially with those first steps in the morning.
Common Causes:
Overuse from running, walking, or standing for long periods
Poor foot mechanics or flat feet
Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon
Sudden increase in activity
Improper footwear or worn-out shoes
Age (most common between 40-60 years)
Natural Recovery Approaches:
🌿 Bowen Therapy: This gentle, hands-on technique helps release tension in the fascia and surrounding muscles, promoting natural healing and improved circulation to the affected area.
🩹 Strapping/Taping: Supportive taping techniques can provide structural support, reduce strain on the plantar fascia, and help maintain proper foot positioning during healing.
💪 Targeted Exercises:
Calf stretches and plantar fascia stretches
Towel curls and marble pickups for foot strengthening
Rolling a tennis ball under your foot
💎 Natural Support:
Silica: Supports connective tissue health and collagen production
Calc Fluor (Calcium Fluoride): Traditional tissue salt used to support elastic tissue integrity
Remember: Healing takes time and consistency. Combine these approaches with proper rest, and appropriate footwear for best results.
