🔈 PLANTAR FASCIITIS SELF-TREATMENT

Regular, gentle stretching of your Achilles tendon and plantar fascia may help to ease your symptoms. This is because most people with plantar fasciitis have a slight tightness of their Achilles tendon. If this is the case, it tends to pull at the back of your heel and has a knock-on effect of keeping your plantar fascia tight. Also, when you are asleep overnight, your plantar fascia tends to tighten up (which is why it is usually most painful first thing in the morning). The aim of these exercises is to loosen up the tendons and fascia gently above and below your heel.

1. Soleus Stretch
With both knees apart and your toes facing forward, lean into the wall until you feel the stretch in your lower calf. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat 3 times.

2. Step Stretch
Stand with your toes on a step and your heels off the edge. Slowly lower your heels down, hold for 15 seconds, and then lift your heels to their starting position. You can either do both feet at the same time, or one foot at a time. Repeat five times.

3. Roll Stretch
Using a mini roll, roll it back and forth from your toes to your heels. Alternatively you can use a tennis ball or a glass bottle.

4. Plantar Fascia Massage
Using two fingers, apply small circular friction to any tight knots or lumps in the plantar fascia. The pressure should be deep, but not so much that you tighten up with pain.

5. Elastic Strap Stretch
Sit on the floor with your legs straight in from of you. Take a stretch strap and place it around your toes. Gently pull the strap towards you. Hold for 15-30 seconds, then release. Repeat 3 times.

6. Toe Stretch
Place just toes up on the wall with the ball of the foot and heel on the ground. Lean into the wall slowly until stretch is felt. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat 3 times.

Can plantar fasciitis be prevented?
There are certain things that you can do to try to prevent plantar fasciitis, especially if you have had it before. These include:

▪️Regularly changing training shoes used for running or walking
▪️Wearing shoes with good cushioning in the heels and good arch support
▪️Losing weight if you are overweight
▪️Regularly stretching the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, especially before exercise
▪️Avoiding exercising on hard surfaces

Nothing as nice as listening to the rain while getting a treatment...next client availing of dry cupping treatment 🥰

The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure). Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite

Think this is a great visual representation of what can be felt when doing a deep tissue massage and when working on trying to break down adhesions, scar tissue and getting muscles back to their lengthened state. This then helps increase the blood flow and ROM. Adhesions restrict normal movement and elasticity of the structures involved. Adhesions can make it more difficult to move a joint, affecting the joint itself, tendons or ligaments.

Some scattered availability left next week give me a shout if you need in 🙌
