@WarmongerYT They're fairly common amongst the population. Most of the time, you don't need to worry about them.

@@powsvalentineRealistically most massage therapists and ESPECIALLY chiropractors have release forms/waivers that require you to sign off stating that you know it is not real medicine and that you can't come back at them for "medical malpractice."
I have these and you can't massage or pop them away. Any supposed visual help from what you did is just that -- visual only as in superficial "results." Have that person walk around for a couple minutes after the massage and then do the pressure test again. They'll be back to looking exactly the same. To be honest I don't think there's even superficial relief in the clip. I believe you intentionally used way less pressure than at the beginning to pretend something happened.

After reading some comments, I understand you know these are called piezogenic papules of the heel. However, every doctor I have ever talked to about these have told me "DO NOT SQUEEZE THEM/POP THEM." You're not supposed to treat them with more pressure. Which has me concerned for the people who view this on snap reels where there are no comments telling people that this is not the right way to treat them. 🙃
Absolutely, you bring up an important point. It’s crucial to understand that addressing the fascia and the underlying causes is the key to managing piezogenic papules of the heel. The ‘crunch’ or ‘pop’ sensation often comes from working on the tight fascia rather than the papules themselves. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for the right approach. Thanks for emphasizing this!
@@GreaterTherapeuticsThose are small fat hernias, they're more visible the more pressure you put on the heel. They're a common symptom of hypermobility disorders like Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and they're not treatable because they're literally small hernias of fat that have been pushed out of the connective tissue that's supposed to keep the fat in a cushion for the heel, but it can't because the connective tissues are compromised. I'd send this client to a doctor that has experience in diagnosing and treating EDS patients and I'd recommend switching to barefoot shoes to help with stability, natural movement and foot strength and using extra heel cushioning because with those hernias the heel cushion is deficient and that will lead to heel pain. I'd also tell the client to do a lot of stability exercises for especially wrists, ankles, hips and shoulders, also core strength is very important for hypermobile people. And how do I know this? I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and I have those hernias.
Those are PPPs or piezogenic pedal papules. Nothing whatsoever to do with knots or adhesions. I’m assuming this guy got his degree free in a packet of cookies.
….. um those aren’t knots… they are Piezogenic Pedal Papule… common in people with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Diabetes. Do your research before posting misinformation 🙄 (Posting as a person who has EDS)
This is why you don’t listen to cyropractors or anyone who says they’re a doc. Just cause you think you’re a doc doesn’t mean you know what you’re talking about.
*I HAVE THOSE!!!!!* I just happened to notice one night while shaving my legs that I had the same exact bumps on my heels!!! It is *ABSOLUTELY CRAZY* to see & *NOT KNOW* what it is! It scared the "You Know What" {😉😉} out of me!!! I'm so happy that this condition has a name!!! I'm also happy because now doctors have a way to work on it to help make patients feel *A LOT BETTER* ~&~ make the bumps *DISAPPEAR* !!! I really hope that one day they will find a cure for it because this condition can get to {At least for me!!!} a *#7 - #8* on the #1 - #10 Pain Scale!!!!!
That is adipose tissue had has been forced through tears in the muscle from running. People with EDS are predisposed to having a lot of these. The first one I ever noticed in myself I was 6 years old and jumped off my trampoline landing on the ground, I knocked the wind out of myself and felt a pop in my foot. I have a bump that is purely adipose tissue that popped through my muscle and is held under the skin. The technical term for this is Piezogenic Papules. Fat tissue bumps caused by pressure.
The bumps on the heel are called “Piezogenic papules”, they are painful or asymptomatic papules of the feet and wrists that result from herniation of fat through the dermis. They are common, nonhereditary, and usually are not the result of an inherent connective tissue defect. These have nothing to do with knots in the muscle or muscle strain, you can get rid of this condition through a reduction of weight bearing exercise on the heel, weight loss, compression socks, proper pads for for shoes, and most of all a proper examination from a podiatrist.
As a young sprinter myself I find this very helpful and concerned towards me thank you for putting this out there I’m currently scheduled to see a chiropractor on Saturday
Coming back to this video now as a med student and since some of the comments are missing good info, im going to fill in: Yes, these are known as piezogenic pedal papules. They can look minor like this, or start to form/show outwards of the skin/sides of the heel. When they aren't painful, they are not recommended to be treated. If they are painful, there are surgeries to remove them as well as injections to dissolve them - the most common practice to get rid of them is through weight-loss and reduction of weight-bearing exercises - as in jumping, running, squatting, etc - as the most common cause of this occurs from excessive weight on the feet - its seen often in marathon runners and individuals who are overweight (there are other ways to develop these, however). These are common amongst the population and if you have them, you don't need to worry about them unless they are causing you pain. YOU SHOULD NOT POP THESE - imagine it like small bumps of fat that poke out through the dermis (the second layer of skin - first is the epidermis). If you pop these, fat gets dispersed between the dermis, epidermis, and into the papillary and reticular dermis (where hair follicles grow - and yes, im aware hair doesn't grow on the heel - this is just for reference). This can cause infections, scarring within the heel, and even worsen the condition. If you have anymore questions about these, feel free to ask. I may not know everything, but i can give you a better understanding than this guy saying they are "knots." Edit: typo
Now, as somebody who has MD at the end of his name and works trauma in the ED, with a specialty in Orthopedics and Peds. I've never run into an adhesion. Stop lying to people! Now, outside of pathology, trauma (including surgery), or genetic conditions, there is little to no support for the presence of myofascial adhesions, scar tissue formation, or muscular fibrosis in human beings! In fact, regular exercise is actually the treatment for the latter, and the first two likely do not exist in normal individuals. And why do we get adhesions? Sure, we can get scar tissue after some major trauma or surgery. But why would we ALWAYS get adhesions with regular working out? And this is when we hear a bunch of words used improperly or out of context which I guess is still improperly. We hear that adhesions follow because of microtrauma. You know the same microtrauma that we create every time we work out. The same microtrauma that causes us to adapt, get stronger, jump higher, have a better immune system, stronger bones, denser tendons, better functioning nervous system. But somehow, this wonderful tissue stress causes the Hobgoblin “Adhesion”. This makes no sense. What a shitty evolutionary adaptation. So those fit, strong, healthy people who have never had any “body work” must be riddled with adhesions. Poor souls.

Just changing the way you're putting pressure on the heel each time you demonstrate how you've made it better dosent mean its better. Its funny that people think they are so smart and others are so dumb. Even if we are dumb, we can observe shit.

These occur due to fat herniations through the fascial planes. Although they are Papuals there is evidence that fascia does effect them. They have been classically described in marathon runners and as incidental findings caused by prolonged weight-bearing over the heels. Piezogenic pedal papules (PPP) have been described as being both painful and painless.
@@GreaterTherapeuticsthe fascia of the entire body is affected by collagen. There are conditions affecting collagen which are rare but can cause symptoms such as hyper mobility, and these piezo genic papules. ❤ Please research EDS and hEDS for more information and awareness on these indicators for testing of this syndrome
I've had these for a long time, you are blatantly incorrect. These are pedal papules, very, very painful especially when pressure is applied. You really don't want to apply pressure to these and they should be referred to an actual professional first of all and a podiatrist. I apply as little pressure to my heels as possible using compression stockings and foam fitting heel cups. I remember a chiropractor saying something similar to me about these and I never went back because wtf? I'm always dealing with some less than savory (and less than educated) doctors because I deal with them so often as someone with a chronic illness but this blew me away because of the confidence he has while lying to a patient. This further proves my bias that some doctors similar to chiropractors are actually salesmen.
@@gambers20001 With surgery, yes. They cannot be removed with a pumice stone because they are under the skin and if you could I wouldn't recommend it as you would likely have to grind into tissue.

I have these and you can't massage or pop them away. Any supposed visual help from what you did is just that -- visual only as in superficial "results." Have that person walk around for a couple minutes after the massage and then do the pressure test again. They'll be back to looking exactly the same.
To be honest I don't think there's even superficial relief in the clip. I believe you intentionally used way less pressure than at the beginning to pretend something happened.
I think he did too at the end

2nd time you are applying less pressure on the foot, that resembling like less knots in foot compared to first one
Me when i purposely spread misinformation online (we do a little trolling)
After reading some comments, I understand you know these are called piezogenic papules of the heel. However, every doctor I have ever talked to about these have told me "DO NOT SQUEEZE THEM/POP THEM." You're not supposed to treat them with more pressure. Which has me concerned for the people who view this on snap reels where there are no comments telling people that this is not the right way to treat them. 🙃
Absolutely, you bring up an important point. It’s crucial to understand that addressing the fascia and the underlying causes is the key to managing piezogenic papules of the heel. The ‘crunch’ or ‘pop’ sensation often comes from working on the tight fascia rather than the papules themselves. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for the right approach. Thanks for emphasizing this!

@@TGT-90oh c'mon, let him ruin his life by posting videos of his malpractice. One lawsuit and he's done for lmao
@@GreaterTherapeuticsThose are small fat hernias, they're more visible the more pressure you put on the heel. They're a common symptom of hypermobility disorders like Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and they're not treatable because they're literally small hernias of fat that have been pushed out of the connective tissue that's supposed to keep the fat in a cushion for the heel, but it can't because the connective tissues are compromised.
I'd send this client to a doctor that has experience in diagnosing and treating EDS patients and I'd recommend switching to barefoot shoes to help with stability, natural movement and foot strength and using extra heel cushioning because with those hernias the heel cushion is deficient and that will lead to heel pain. I'd also tell the client to do a lot of stability exercises for especially wrists, ankles, hips and shoulders, also core strength is very important for hypermobile people.
And how do I know this?
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and I have those hernias.
If you run, wouldn’t it squeeze and pop them just by your own running movement and weight?
As someone with EDS I almost burst out laughing watching this. People really just straight up make things up on the internet for fun sometimes.

It’s not knots, it’s fat cells. And they seemed less because I applied less pressure.
Those "knots" are called Piezogenic pedal papules, and they're a common symptom of EDS
TH-cam will let anyone be a “professional” massage therapist nowadays
these are actually benign. they are called pedal papules.
*I HAVE THOSE!!!!!*
I just happened to notice one night while shaving my legs that I had the same exact bumps on my heels!!! It is *ABSOLUTELY CRAZY* to see & *NOT KNOW* what it is!
It scared the "You Know What"
{😉😉} out of me!!!
I'm so happy that this condition has a name!!! I'm also happy because now doctors have a way to work on it to help make patients feel *A LOT BETTER* ~&~ make the bumps *DISAPPEAR* !!! I really hope that one day they will find a cure for it because this condition can get to {At least for me!!!} a *#7 - #8* on the #1 - #10 Pain Scale!!!!!
That is adipose tissue had has been forced through tears in the muscle from running. People with EDS are predisposed to having a lot of these. The first one I ever noticed in myself I was 6 years old and jumped off my trampoline landing on the ground, I knocked the wind out of myself and felt a pop in my foot. I have a bump that is purely adipose tissue that popped through my muscle and is held under the skin. The technical term for this is Piezogenic Papules. Fat tissue bumps caused by pressure.
i love spreading misinformation i love it i love it i love it
Everyone: *saying about what the vid is about*
Me: "Hey I have those funko pops too!"🤣
Those aren't knots. That is adipose tissue. I know because I'm a massage therapist.
The bumps on the heel are called “Piezogenic papules”, they are painful or asymptomatic papules of the feet and wrists that result from herniation of fat through the dermis. They are common, nonhereditary, and usually are not the result of an inherent connective tissue defect.
These have nothing to do with knots in the muscle or muscle strain, you can get rid of this condition through a reduction of weight bearing exercise on the heel, weight loss, compression socks, proper pads for for shoes, and most of all a proper examination from a podiatrist.
As a young sprinter myself I find this very helpful and concerned towards me thank you for putting this out there I’m currently scheduled to see a chiropractor on Saturday
Coming back to this video now as a med student and since some of the comments are missing good info, im going to fill in:
Yes, these are known as piezogenic pedal papules.
They can look minor like this, or start to form/show outwards of the skin/sides of the heel.
When they aren't painful, they are not recommended to be treated.
If they are painful, there are surgeries to remove them as well as injections to dissolve them - the most common practice to get rid of them is through weight-loss and reduction of weight-bearing exercises - as in jumping, running, squatting, etc - as the most common cause of this occurs from excessive weight on the feet - its seen often in marathon runners and individuals who are overweight (there are other ways to develop these, however).
These are common amongst the population and if you have them, you don't need to worry about them unless they are causing you pain.
YOU SHOULD NOT POP THESE - imagine it like small bumps of fat that poke out through the dermis (the second layer of skin - first is the epidermis).
If you pop these, fat gets dispersed between the dermis, epidermis, and into the papillary and reticular dermis (where hair follicles grow - and yes, im aware hair doesn't grow on the heel - this is just for reference). This can cause infections, scarring within the heel, and even worsen the condition.
If you have anymore questions about these, feel free to ask. I may not know everything, but i can give you a better understanding than this guy saying they are "knots."
Edit: typo
Damn, this man is posting his con on the internet 😂
Did you just say I hold all my fascism in my feet??
Now, as somebody who has MD at the end of his name and works trauma in the ED, with a specialty in Orthopedics and Peds. I've never run into an adhesion. Stop lying to people! Now, outside of pathology, trauma (including surgery), or genetic conditions, there is little to no support for the presence of myofascial adhesions, scar tissue formation, or muscular fibrosis in human beings! In fact, regular exercise is actually the treatment for the latter, and the first two likely do not exist in normal individuals. And why do we get adhesions? Sure, we can get scar tissue after some major trauma or surgery. But why would we ALWAYS get adhesions with regular working out? And this is when we hear a bunch of words used improperly or out of context which I guess is still improperly. We hear that adhesions follow because of microtrauma. You know the same microtrauma that we create every time we work out. The same microtrauma that causes us to adapt, get stronger, jump higher, have a better immune system, stronger bones, denser tendons, better functioning nervous system. But somehow, this wonderful tissue stress causes the Hobgoblin “Adhesion”. This makes no sense. What a shitty evolutionary adaptation. So those fit, strong, healthy people who have never had any “body work” must be riddled with adhesions. Poor souls.

Bruh you’re supposed to be an expert, but it looks like you’re making stuff up. Piezogenic papules - not knots and shouldn’t be “treated” as such.

Just changing the way you're putting pressure on the heel each time you demonstrate how you've made it better dosent mean its better. Its funny that people think they are so smart and others are so dumb. Even if we are dumb, we can observe shit.
When you pressed on it the second time to show progress you weren’t pressing with the same pressure as the before.

Those arent knots they are piezoelectric papuals….. basically tiny bits of fat
These occur due to fat herniations through the fascial planes. Although they are Papuals there is evidence that fascia does effect them. They have been classically described in marathon runners and as incidental findings caused by prolonged weight-bearing over the heels. Piezogenic pedal papules (PPP) have been described as being both painful and painless.
@@GreaterTherapeuticsthe fascia of the entire body is affected by collagen.
There are conditions affecting collagen which are rare but can cause symptoms such as hyper mobility, and these piezo genic papules. ❤

Cause you apply less pressure😂
I've had these for a long time, you are blatantly incorrect. These are pedal papules, very, very painful especially when pressure is applied. You really don't want to apply pressure to these and they should be referred to an actual professional first of all and a podiatrist.
I apply as little pressure to my heels as possible using compression stockings and foam fitting heel cups.
I remember a chiropractor saying something similar to me about these and I never went back because wtf? I'm always dealing with some less than savory (and less than educated) doctors because I deal with them so often as someone with a chronic illness but this blew me away because of the confidence he has while lying to a patient. This further proves my bias that some doctors similar to chiropractors are actually salesmen.
Can the padel papules be removed with a pumince stone or surgery?
@@gambers20001 With surgery, yes. They cannot be removed with a pumice stone because they are under the skin and if you could I wouldn't recommend it as you would likely have to grind into tissue.
@@anonuser1279 I hope they have the integrity to post an update on the patient on this channel. Thanks for the information. Was your condition cured by the surgery?
@@gambers20001 Unfortunately I didn't have enough for the surgery so I use compression socks and fitted heel cups.
They likely won't considering they haven't deleted this video like they should. I'm not a fan of chiropractors for this reason, they're so wrong on so many things.
All due respect brother I’m not sure you’re correct with this one. I think you should refer them to a medical doctor 🙏
