Re: Re: plantar fasciitis post-op

[Guest guest]

I just got a case of the plantar fasciitis on my left foot. I play

tournament tennis and being right handed, I'm wondering if weight pressure from

the

serve-in addition to running- is a factor.

There is a very good article in the current " Running " magazine which shows

some stretches (pulling the toe back), recommends messaging with a golf ball,

and ice. Using a frozen rounded bottle of water and rolling on it is very

good. All that plus rest is recommended. I feel myself getting better after

only

a few days treatment although I'm going to be conservative because it looks

like it could be a lingering type of injury.

Apparently, having a good arch and stable foot/shoe is important.

I would love to hear of other experiences.

Thanks,
