Elitetrack: Sport Training & Conditioning

so about 2 weeks ago i felt da pain..everytime i was running..when i put my tos to da ground..my heel was jus hurtin and hurtin so for da las 2-3 weeks ive been just icing, heatin, doing stretchin..i may get orthotics..aybody know about plantar fascitis?..any secrets to treatments to get back on da track

damn i love your spelling, can you plz teach me.

i was typing very fast..not really paying att.....do you know about plantar fascitis?

Plantar fasciitis is inflamation of the tendons under the foot. The most effective treatments (almost surefire fixes in fact) are deep tissue massage on the longitudinal arch of the foot, static stretching of the achilles tendon and gastroc, and ice cup massages. 

i jus gat some heel cushions for my feet..and now da healing is gone much faster..im not sure if i really had plantar fascitis

Heel cups can help with plantar fasciitis but in my opionion it isn't the best option because they can alter gait mechanics negatively (if they are too thick). 

yea its PF..anybody had it..u know what to do?

i was diagnosed with it, personal opinion was that it was a bruised heel.  Anyway, got custom orthodics for my shoes and havent had a problem since.

o..i think my feet..really my lower leg..achilles..fascia..arch..is still adjusting to da orthotics..i can feel my fascia

I agree. Iv'e had Plantar fasciitis, and I thought it would never go away. I receive PT, and heres what they recommeded.

MRI-to rule out heel spur
Achilles stretch-bent knee
Ultra sound
deep tissue massage
Ice massage for pain and inflamation(use styrofoam cup)
night splint to keep foot dorsiflexed (morninging weres most painful)
Cross training-pool, staionary biking
Pick-up items with toes (arch strenghth)
Place towel on floor flat , place weighted item at one end, then bring towel with item toward you until item gets close to yours toes(Arch Strength)

thx..ive been in da training room doin all these things for almost a week..my fascia is gttin better..i was on da treadmill yesterday and after a couple of hours my heel was kinda tender/sore..but imma be healed soon..i feel it..anybody else have ideas?
