Odd week lots of change and plates spinning the concept of a headless chicken comes to mind, probably similar for you to one extent or another.
Netball, Golf, tennis, and Park run all have an extra participant this weekend as the people in question have all fully recovered from plantar fasciitis with my treatment plan.
All needed lots of modifications to the core treatment plan as obviously we are all different, but also had 4 activities that placed different demands on the foot when executing movement.
As Part of their recovery practice of movements was needed, from just serving practice in tennis to short burst running with a jump and a stop in netball.
They are all feel great and extremely pleased they committed to a programme of treatment.
I have spoke about recently success with a man who has Parkinson’s and had plantar fasciitis. Balance is an issue with Parkinson's along with coordinated movement. I have been reliably informed that he now walks past the pub on a 3 mile walk with the dogs.
He does not drink and the pub was 739 metres from his house. His first goal with me was to be able to walk to the pub, as he could only do short distances. A very specific distance he measured linked to his previous career.
🦶He achieved this in 2 weeks🦶
We did this by breaking down the challenge, 25m first in one direction then back 25m. Focus on walking and speed technique. He did this 3 times a day for 3 days that’s all!
3 days 50m the same way, then a 100m, then 200m on day 11 he text me and said how much better his foot was and should he aim to go further?
My response was to go for 400m as the pattern above would indicate. Structured magnitude of improvement.
He walked to the pub and had a coke feeling pleased with himself, Luckily his wife was home as his taxi back.
🦶At this point he had only had 3 sessions of treatment.🦶
He has finished with me now and not only is walking most days but is back fly fishing which is a passion that he thought he would not be able to do again.
A result of this is I am now working with two more clients who have Parkinson's and plantar fasciitis, a common issue as foot drop on one side is common and overcompensation for balance and movement damage the other foot and the fascia.
Success is relative!
If you plantar Fasciitis is holding you back from what you want to be doing, or simply painful when you stand up and walk, you are coping and its less painful at times, I can help, Significantly!
Remember if you cannot stand or walk in bare feet there is a issue, its like a tooth which is painful to touch or eat with, you cannot eat on the other side of mouth always.
