I have used a constantly evolving  process from treating people with lots of different challenges with plantar fasciitis and end goals to develop the medical device protocols and the biomechanical and gait assessment strategies for the fastest pain relief and recovery!

Clients have had a range of treatments of varying time and intensity. The optimal frequency of treatment is 3 sessions within 2 weeks then weekly as required. I have also recently been trialling a speed programme for eligible people where 3 weeks is the target. Clients vary with coping strategies for plantar fasciitis and we have to modify movement and rest and break habits.

The medical treatment has been a significant breakthrough with pain and inflammation reduction in the first sessions then progressing with healing the fascia for lasting results. As the fascia heals, pain tends to move around the foot as the complexity of the foot structure means multiple sites of damage.

Depending on how long you have had plantar fasciitis, used insoles, had surgery or other foot issues, impacts on how your foot and ankle moves, and ultimately how it can be loaded. This can further hinder plantar fasciitis recovery.

Everyone has issues standing either first thing in the morning or after sitting for some time!

Walking is always mixed for everyone some people can walk shorter distances only, others its slightly longer. Walking and plantar fasciitis depends on how you walk!

You will need some gait or walking modifications, in some cases due to compensation because of your plantar fasciitis pain this may feel like its extensive, this just highlights how painful it is and how you had been coping.

When your pain is reduced due to the medical devices your fascia can start healing to allow better ankle movement, enabling a better walking movement. This improvement leads to other parts of the foot strengthening as alternative muscles tendons and ligaments are been used in a different sequence resulting no further damage and you are now promoting a healing cycle.

The solution is to repair the fascia so no Plantar fasciitis and no pain long term!

• The medical devices I use reduce pain and inflammation initially. This is important as it enables you to practice standing and walking differently which stops further damage.
• The plantar fasciitis rehabilitation system is extensive and helps you move standing and walking normally with modifications. The movements I prescribe you enhance your recovery in two ways speed and longevity of repair and healing.
• Further medical treatment focuses on directly healing the fascia so the damage to the tissue is healed so not pain and enhanced movement allowing you to do what you want!
