Plantar fascia pain management

               

Over the weekend the Bulletproofbodies Team were asked lots of questions about foot pain in particular, plantar fasciitis.

After 22 years in the Military I can tell you that I have tried all sorts of tricks when it comes to footwear, Orthotics and inner soles.

Wearing boots for long periods of time can irritate the bottom of the foot resulting in plantar fascia pain.

The plantar fascia is a thick band of connective tissue that acts like a ligament to help support your arch and provide shock absorption during weight bearing activities.

The area where the plantar fascia attaches to the bottom of the heel bone is a place that can get stressed or injured and become inflamed.

When this happens, you have plantar fasciitis. The good news is that you can prevent this happening and stop the problem before it gets worse.

Our answer is "get some balls!"

Bulletproofbodies Book of the Month - Ready To Run

So with the Manchester Marathon been and gone how about some reading before the London Marathon?



Book of the Month is "Ready to Run" by Dr Kelly Starrett.



At Bulletproofbodies we are big fans of K Star and his original book Becoming a Supple Leopard which was a Best Seller in the USA:

K Star takes a lot of the same principles from CrossFit and applies them to running with significant effect.

Runners are notorious for not taking Stretching, Strength training and Foam rolling seriously.

The majority of Runners that we treated at the Manchester Marathon did no strength training, paid lip service to stretching and complained because the foam roller was painful.

These were the same athletes that just put themselves through the pain of 26.2 miles!


Check out his video below:





Ready to run gives a fresh look at the reasons why runners get injured and how to do something about it that is quick, easy and clinically effective.

K Star, the Bulletproofbodies Team Salute you!
