Great thank you, very informative and encouraging!

Nice motivational vdo. Will surely update after following what u said

Excellent Video. I am pleasantly surprised to hear all of this from a Doctor. Awesome.

I was very motivated to get super fit again and overdid with sports lately ignoring the heel pain which came after the training. Did not see a doctor. After the competition, I wanted to take a few days off and just wanted to wait until this terrible pain went away. In vain, as I am on crunches now for the past whole week. The idea is not to put stress on my foot and do exercises at the same time. But until now, I do not really see a difference. Your video motivates me that I can still hope to run once this terrible pain goes away. Am seeing the doctor again next week for the second shock wave therapy. Hope I can walk without crunches soon and then can do jogging, playing soccer etc. again.

I can’t see myself telling an NHS doctor that I won’t give him/her a good review 😂

Awesome, thanks for the great video.

Running on the right side of the road is such a great tip!

Amazing video. Thank you

Dr. what do you think about PRP treatment for plantar fascia is that a smart idea thank you

I am not an md or a health professional. So please do your research before trusting me. However, against common opinions p.f. is not the inflammation. It is lack of blood supply to your foot which is located at the back of your calf. Looking at you foot only overlooks the problem immensely. 1. Adjust your pelvis to make sure it is levelled and strong. Massage your calf, this is where your blood supply pump for the foot is. 3. Spread your toes and walk on your toes. You might feel a pull in your calf but that is a sign that your pump is not working properly. 4. Sleep well and eat healthy. 5. Walk , walk and walk. Use your body. 5. Work on your feet arches. 6. Loose weight. 7. Listen to your body. It is a connected chain. 8. Stretch

That’s the type of motivation I need. Got to run on Sunday, stress fractures was messed up I feel better but still ain’t 💯.. I’m icing I got to do this .. any tips on run brace

I was going to run with PF whether I watched this video or not, but now I know how to go about doing it. Thank you so much!

i absolutely love this thanks a lot !

I'm a 65 year old newly retired male pickleball player and felt a soreness under my heel develop about 6 weeks. I just ignored it not having experienced foot issues before. Well it got real bad all of a sudden where i had to stop playing. Saw my doc,,, PF he's says. "Don't get the shot" he says. Been doing the stretching, ice, ball roll, more stretching, boot. Been 2 weeks. About 50% better. Would like to get back to some limited time playing. Thoughts? And thank you for the video, one of the more informative I've seen!

I had plantar faciatis for 6 years. I stopped at one point running for a year because i had pain walking and thought running would be worse. To my surprise after a year without running i had enough and decided to start running and prepared a 10k in 2 weeks and for some reason running hurts me less than walking(i think because i run with minimalist 0 drop shoes and dont land on heel first and walking i actually stretch more the plantar faciatis). After that i keept running. One thing to consider is that altough i do have cronic facitis, it is very mild compared to other people and that i do wear orthopedic soles for running and walking, if i dont the facitis pain get worse. Im not saying go and run but just wanted to share my experience

Some important info here which i hadnt seen elsewhere, like things you can do and taking care to avoid more damage.

I went thru the whole video and it doesn't tell me much on how to deal with it

thanks for this video. i'm 27 y/o, healthy & and have been a long distance runner for over a decade (forefoot runner!!). had VERY MILD heel pain maybe a handful of mornings over the past year, didn't know what it was. moved across the country 6 months ago and all of a sudden i couldn't run - the pain was chronic almost overnight. i saw a movement coach first who had severe PF himself and promised me fixing my posture would cure it... then two podiatrists and PT twice a week for 3 months now with no improvement at all. i now have a heel spur, and the pod told me i'd need insoles on every shoe for the rest of my life. i've been through tough times before, but not being able to run for 6 months, and having no clue when i'll be able to do even one track lap again/spending hundreds and listening to doctors who i wanted to trust, this is absolute hell, all for a stupid sounding injury that my friends laugh at because their grandmas all have it haha. scouring the internet relentlessly trying to learn about my feet so I can manage my own recovery... but it really sucks. appreciate the helpful info here!!!!

Thank you so much doctor....

How much does taking collagen really help with plantar fasciosis? What about treatment? Would be helpful to know about the shoes a person should wear. I’ve been using Reebok with the built in memory foam. I’ve been told it’s not helpful but it does feel more comfortable as compared to other shoes. Thank you for your help!

I used a Fein multitool with sanding attachment but no sandpaper, the oscillation/vibration made the pain go away for hours!

Against all common opinions, plantar fasciitis is not the inflammation. It is a dead tissue because of lack of weak or no blood supply.Too much sugar can also be a culprit. Spread your toes. Train your foot slowly to increase the blood supply. Walk on your toes.Pay attention not to pronate too much. Orthotics will not fix it. Just make it lazy. Stretch and massage your calf. This is where the pump for your foot blood supply is. Good luck folks. Stay healthy.

Wet cupping really helps

If my plantar Fasciitis is on the left foot. is it logical to say run on the left side of the road

Whats the answer?

Has anyone ever experienced numbness between the balls of your feet and big toe from running? What did you do to treat it? How long does it take to heal? I think running too hard down inclines for a few days is what caused it for me. Thank you for any ideas.

Good stuff but slight overkill 😊 could have condensed this into about 5-6 mins 👍

So my heal doesn’t hurt, I have no brushing. It hurts on my left foot on the left side by the fingers not that much. I run an hour a day everyday. Been doing it for these whole quarantine, 90 days or so and it’s the first time something hurts

I kept running with plantar fasciitis but cut the mileage recommended by my physio did shock wave therapy but it just got worse until i couldn't run anymore and was painful to walk, so i quit running for 2 months now and its not painful anymore just more of a niggle but still got it.

I've had agonising planter fasciitis for nearly 5 years now. I was told it would go on it's own after 2 years like a frozen shoulder. I'm in agony constantly and can't imagine running. But I also am desperate to get fit

I've bn Running since 30yrs once or twice a wk more thn 5km and aftr Run Extra Miles,My Right Leg got Plantar wondering wthr Hoka One Bondi7 can help Me to run atleast 1-2km in Soft Ground Stadium cos'cnt wait for another wks,Addicted wth Sports

does this also apply to lifting weights

I ran with with plantar fasciitis in both feet for more than 2 months, eventually my right foot quit on me, It reached a level where I can barely sleep, it was like a knife in my foot. Stopped running and it went away. The point is, if you have plantar fasciitis take a break don't ignore it

Hi I'm a runner and i'm a doctor too. I would like to know what you mean by the word running the right way. You were running slower with inclination and supination of your right foot? I'm experiencing planar fasciitis for a month now. I tried almost everyway to improve it Thanks

I got mine from cycling. It doesn't hurt on the bike at all only when I walk. Can I continue cycling?

Ive had it for a year and quit running and gained 12 pounds

I stopped running for months, then pain went away. Started to lightly run, and it came back. Hurt that night, but pain went away within a day. I use high cushion shoes and stretch. Just doesn't seem to go away.

Great video doc thanks a lot ^_^

So if it hurts when I run should I still run

If it's in your left foot, do you run on the left side of the road?

This is the best video and positive for all the runners with PF:)

Doc i get pain walking in barefoot but wearing some shoes i don't feel any pain .is this P.F ?

Did not run for a year and it just gets worse…

So trueeee that doctors dont understand that goal is not pain to go away its to continue running My doctor said dont run pain will go away i was like no man thats not a good deal 😀

Watch the video on 2 reasons runners don't get better. Then get the free mini-course on Runner's Heel Pain here: runnersheelpain.docontherun.com/why-some-runners-with-heel-pain-dont-get-better

"RUN"!? I can hardly, walk😟

Those runners using bad form....heel striking.

Everything you said contradicts with other things you say if you actually listen carefully. This was not helpful

I have this right now and it sucks

I guarantee you will not run with PF.

lol

Doctors don't give a fuck about my marathon training

Nothing substantial/meaningful in the video.
