Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Winchester
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, and whether you’re training for the forthcoming Winchester 10K, doing the Winchester Parkrun, or walking the dog on St Catherine’s Hill each day, it can quickly slow you down.
The pain of plantar fasciitis can be like treading on nails, especially first thing in the morning or after sitting down for a while.
Recent research suggests that a combination of foot and ankle strengthening exercises, active stretching, and self-administered soft tissue techniques can significantly reduce chronic plantar fasciitis pain within a few weeks. Click here to read the abstract of the article.
