“The Hip bone is connected to the Leg bone; the Leg bone is connected to the Foot bone…” Do you have one of these foot problems?
- Foot pain that is sharp and usually on one foot?
- Heel pain that gets worse after you sit or lay down
- Pain that is worse with those first few steps out of bed in the morning
- Pain at first but somehow it gets better the more you walk on it or “warm it up”. If you answered yes to any one of these problems, you most likely have plantar fascial dysfunction. Plantar fascial dysfunction is the most common type of plantar fascia disease and is the most common reason for heel pain, responsible for 80% of cases. The condition tends to occur more often in women than men Plantar fascial dysfunction is estimated to affect 1 in 10 people at some point during their lifetime and most commonly affects people between 40–60 years of age.
There could be a variety of different reason why you are needlessly suffering from this connective tissue disease:
-Maybe you run excessively
-Maybe you stand on a hard surface for prolonged periods of time
-May you have genetically high arches
-May you have a leg length inequality
-Maybe you have flat feet
-Maybe you are chronically tight in your Achilles tendon or whole posterior chain group.
- Or Maybe you are wearing inappropriate shoes
What ever the case is, there is rarely an easy one step solution. I have treated many feet over my last 12 years of clinical practice and feet are so freakishly strong and resilient that its amazing the abuse we put our feet through. However, when something goes wrong with them our whole life changes.
What we enjoy doing for fun, limited social encounters, pain, stress, anxiety, limited mobility and loss of balance. Fear of staying standing or walking to far due to the pain that will show up. Neglect of foot apparel due to the likelihood of pain and dysfunction setting in if a ‘nice’ shoe is worn for too long….
Maybe you have tried these following interventions:
Rest, Ice, Elevation, Acupuncture, Dry Needling, Ultra sound, Iontophoresis, Foot Inserts, Massage, Oils, and Tapes.
Have any of these interventions worked for you? Have they worked long term?
If they haven’t, I invite you to be open to what research and evidence is showing to have far more success long term for foot pain. Myofascial Release is a whole-body intervention that is dedicated to treat the body and provide structural - fascial mobility to assist the body to return to a balanced state of being. Dys-function in normal tensional loads leads to Dis-ease, not just a connective tissue balance, but in fluid dynamics, nerve processing and sensory balance.
