Treatments for Plantar Fasciitis, Foot Pain

Myofascial Release Training DVD for relieving foot pain

Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia on the bottom of the foot. One out of every ten people will suffer from plantar fasciitis at some point in their lives. Here, showing that the cause of plantar fasciitis is due to chronic contraction of the plantar fascia (as well as the muscles that flex the toes), Satyarthi demonstrates how to treat plantar fasciitis with deep sensitive pressure, joint mobilization, and assisted stretches.

The treatment includes deep work on the posterior line of the leg, which connects to the plantar fascia working the gastrocnemius, soleus, and hamstrings. This well-tested approach to treating plantar fasciitis releases pain and restores natural movement and balance to the foot and lower leg.  In this DVD, Satyarthi teaches:

• How to assess and treat the foot
• Palpation skills for assessment
• Numerous tools to work the plantar fascia
• Working to bring integration to the foot and leg
• Joint mobilization for the foot, ankle, and leg
• Assisted stretches: Foot, lower leg, hamstrings, quadriceps
• Quality of touch: Slow, deep, soft, sensitive
