Plantar fasciitis

Are you waking up to severe heel pain as soon as your foot hits the floor? Rolling a frozen water bottle under your foot and hoping tomorrow’s results will be different? Did you know that the soleus, a muscle underneath your gastroc that crosses your ankle joint, can be responsible for referring pain directly to the heel? And that the gastrocnemius can refer pain into the plantar fascia area? Many clinicians are focused on ankle exercises, toe yoga and massage to the bottom of the foot, when in actuality, plantar fasciitis pain commonly results from trigger points in the calf muscles. Let’s see if we can get you relief from this commonly misdiagnosed disorder.
