According to American Massage Therapy Association - AMTA , treatments for plantar fasciitis and plantar fasciosis are different and it is sometimes unclear which condition is present. There is ample evidence that stretching and masage to reduce pain and inflamation in clients who have plantar fasciitis can help to resolve this condition. When a client has plantar fasciosis, the tissue has been inflamed for so long that it starts to break down. In this case, the theory is that light pressure and long strokes can help to increase blood flow to the area to assist in healing.
We'd love to hear about your experience with treating both conditions and how you know which condition is present. Please let us know!
