Rehab for
Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to the toes. Plantar fasciitis can be caused by a number of factors, including overuse, and repetitive stress.

Physical therapy can be an effective treatment for plantar fasciitis pain. Physical therapists can use a variety of techniques to reduce inflammation, improve flexibility, and strengthen the muscles in the foot and ankle. At Good Reps, we take a look at your entire lower extremity for a holistic approach.

Here are some of the ways that physical therapy can help address pain for plantar fasciitis:

• Strengthening exercises: We can develop a personalized strengthening program to strengthen the muscles in the foot, ankle, knee and hip. This can help to reduce the stress on the plantar fascia and reduce pain.

• Manual therapy: Physical therapists can use manual therapy techniques, such as massage and joint mobilization, to reduce pain.

• Stretching: Physical therapists can teach you stretching exercises to improve the flexibility of the plantar fascia and other muscles in the foot and ankle.

In addition to treating pain, we can also help to prevent plantar fasciitis from recurring. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy can teach you how to modify your activities to reduce stress on the plantar fascia and provide you with exercises to maintain flexibility and strength.
