Plantar Fasciitis Massage by Michael Read

The heel of the foot contains a thick, bow-shaped band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot and connects to the bones and toes of your feet, also called the plantar fascia. It is also the area that protects the foot arch by absorbing shocks as you walk.

Plantar Fasciitis Massage Therapy relieves heel pain and inflammation, which helps restore flexibility in the foot, thereby encouraging normal walking for better overall skeletal support.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis:

• Intense, or burning pain in or near the heel of the foot

• Increased heel pain when you are seated or long-standing

• Heel pain that makes it hard to stand on the affected foot, which can make it hard to walk, particularly when you take your first steps of the day

• Heel pain following physical activity

• A warming sensation, swelling, and tenderness on the bottom of the foot

• Massage Treatments for Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis can make your foot sensitive and rigid, which can make it difficult to put pressure on your feet, thus making it difficult to stand, walk or run, the basic functions required to perform daily activities.

Ignoring plantar fasciitis can lead to severe disability that can hinder you in performing regular activities. So it’s time you contact Michael Read LMT for Plantar Fasciitis Massage. Visit us today!
