I'm 25, been dealing with tremendous foot pain for 8 years. No amount of foot massage would give me any sort of extended relief, and now I am on the road to full recovery thanks to this video.
@@ianariemr3572 Hello! Unfortunately I found that my foot pain is due to an illness called Ehlers Dalnos Syndrome and can only be treated, not cured. This massage technique does give be a fair amount of relief though.
Omg!!!!! I cannot THANK U enough!!! 😭 I'm serious...ive been suffering tremendously 🤧 for almost an entire year!! I massaged my calf the way you suggested and I immediately...and I mean immediately felt the flow of blood start to increase and relief was next. Im Sorry but I am in shock! This has literally just changed the quality of my life!! A HUGE THANKS TO U!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!! 💌😇🌠👏👏👏
Thank you--I am glad you got some relief.. Continue to do this for 10 days even when you feel perfectly fine. It's easy to relapse with plantar pain. If you run a lot it's most important to massage your calf a little --usually plantar starts because of tight calves.
As a teacher, standing all day I've had plantar fasciitis for a couple of years and tried everything from medication to injection, from ESWT to physiotherapy. Nothing worked at all. On a daily treatment search routine on the Internet while suffering from sharp pain on my sole, I came across this video. I tried it as I try everything I watch, hear or see and to my great surprise I felt relieved instantly. I'm now applying ice and for the first time in years I felt hopeful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You realy made my day :)
Bruce, thank you so much.....I have been suffering for 6 months and have watched dozens of TH-cam videos and did what they said. I have been to a physio who never even touched me....just got me to buy some expensive recovery shoes using his amazon referral. I followed your instructions last night and again this morning and I have just got back from a 5000 step walk. Not a twinge. Can't thank you enough.
I had chronic lower back pain related to plantar fasciitis for years. I could not walk without back pain. After a few days doing this method I can now walk without pain. Thank you.
Mr. Bruce thank you so much. I was having lot of discomfort pain. Your technics of massage really worked for me little bit right away . Thanks for your advise.
This routine helped me more than anything else I could find online. I felt instant relief after the first time doing this massage and within 3 days my pain was gone. I did this every morning before taking my first step out of bed, once after getting home from work, and one more time before going to bed. I also iced once a day and wore compression socks. The pain is gone now but I'm still keeping up with the routine to keep everything nice and loose until it's completely healed. Thank you Dr, you're a life saver!!!
So glad it helped you. The same techniques can be used on almost any muscle. Deep massage on muscle then cross fiber starting within about 4 inches from joint if it's tendonitis.
Dear Bruce, I got my foot injected today. Thank you for you video. I found immediate relief! Can’t thank you enough! Thank you from Miami. Diana Velasquez
Dios lo bendiga,gracias!!!! Llevo meses con fascitis y no he podido aliviarme. Trate con inyecciones y ya no me estaban haciendo efecto. Voy a tratar con esos masajes👍👍😊
I was afraid i will loose my passion in alpine climbing and hiking. After a 15 hour alpine tour last year, i suffered plantar faciitis. I have been to different massage, therapy and orthopedics but only this have helped me. I would like to thank you so much for sharing. More blessings. Thank you so much.
This helped me a lot to relieve the pain! Did anyone manage to fix this problem in the long term? I've tried absolutely everything. I've had very intense pain for 6 months now
Awesome, tyvm. I'll try this. My toe nx to my little toe, sometimes will feel like someone is stabbing it with an ice pick, just the one to always. Only on my left foot, very strange to me. Thx again.
I've been doing that and more. I finally realized that I need to LET IT HEAL, instead of walking too much. I also use essential oils. Tried the inserts, but I feel, it is like using crutches forever. Also, just in case I do have a bone spur, essential oils should support healthy ligaments.
Fantastic video, I’m a massage therapist myself and just recently developed PF so I’ll Def use ur self technique. ( I won’t hook my thumbs though) Thanks so much for sharing this!
Hi Eileen--I don't check my comments often enough-that being said-good luck using this technique. I get great results. Patents don't particularly like the discomfort but they get better quick. In my opinion-unless there is a plantar tear-this is the quickest way to get rid of the problem. Good luck with your practice.
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about cure foot problems try Corbandy Feet Pain Crusher (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.
here's a few tips for cures for plantar fasciitis Make sure you rest your feet Try Wearing supportive footwear Use ice on your heel Take ibuprofen or another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug to lessen pain and inflammation try night splints Do stretching and strengthening exercises. (I learned these and why they work on Rohon Foot Care website )
Thank you Joddi Harriz. I really like your presentation re: massage tips. I have rolled the bottom of my foot on an ice filled, fro we water bottle, soaked my foot in Epsom Saltz warm water, and taped my foot with hospital grade sports tape, not the drugstore brands. The supportive shoe brand which has given me the most relief for every day activities is the Hoka brand. The expert at the local running shoe store recommended the Hokas and I love them. I even wear them to church. You mentioned the 'stick' rolling for your calf. I bought the stick and the foot roller from the same company. The foot roller is small enough to carry with me and it helps to break up and loosen the fascia on the sole of my foot. I will add the massage techniques you mentioned to my daily routine. Thank you for your advice.
There are a few things you can try Test out a natural remedies for plantar foot. Something as simple as ginger root, which can be found at your local grocery shop, is a great anti-inflammatory. Ginger root is in a group of plants known as Cox inhibitors. This means they prevent inflammation naturally. Another natural remedy for pain is Bromelain. Bromelain is an enzyme got from pineapples. If you drink the raw juice or eat raw pineapple, you can gt advantage from the properties of Bromelain. This is natural healing at its very best. (I discovered these and more tips on fergs foot formula site )
There are several components to plantar foot treatment. One resource I found which succeeds in merging these is the Rohon Foot Care (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the best remedy i've heard of.Check out the super information .
One year of pain relieved. I knew this would help cause it really hurt, none of the other massages I've tried has helped...Only one time of doing this technique + I feel better already Thank you thank you!
OH MY GOSH.... I have been doing Reflexology/Massage for almost 30 years... When I saw how you dug your thumbs into the person's calf... I about died... "Ouch"...
Hi Judy I don't always get to read these. Yes-since plantar starts with tight calves the bottom of the foot needs to work harder when the calf is tight-I always make sure to do a lot of calf work to expedite healing. I imagine you know this--and it DOES hurt but I only go as deep as they can take it--I then release trigger points with dry needling. Works great! Hope your practice is going well!
thank you for this. my pain is mostly in the metatarsal and these exercises seem to alleviate my pain. I've been having it for the past 7 months and now I can at least wake up and put my foot down without excruciating pain. sadly I like to go for hikes and after 2h walking I am in pain :(
Respect 100% ✌did Your got any video about muscle fibrosis, or "hot spots" treatments where tendons crossing...tibial anterior treatments....I do short 1min.videos in Instagram ...I did 45 painful muscles treatments,and I know what's is going on....Thanks for video,i will do part on Instagram if You agree?;)
For one thing, while many people do calf stretches and exercises they don’t think much about developing the front of the shin, tibialis anterior. Which is where walking comes in. The tibialis anterior is a key muscle in walking and a person that walks well probably need not think about working this muscle because proper gait patterns keep tibialis anterior toned and supple. But this blog exists to tell you that you don’t walk correctly. People that stand and walk well create a natural balance between the calf and the front of the shin that allows the achilles tendon to live a fairly uncomplicated life. Instead one of two misalignments is likely to be happening: A hyperextended knee which angles the achilles tendon chronically backwards. Tights hips which pull the knee and shins sideways when walking force the achilles sideways as well. Either of these two factors-hyperextension and tight hips-can lead to a chronically stressed and short achilles tendon that might well break down in an acute situation when you need a burst of speed. Walking, standing and running require the feet to land under the knees, which allows the achilles tendon to work smoothly.
I don’t know what’s going on with my plantar fasciitis I tried and nothing helped to me I tried this massage for couple of days ut I. Constantly in pain like 24/7 nothing relief my pain ,I’m suffering year and a half and only injections helps me fo blockage the pain for about three months and afterwords pain is back again, I’m in such of pain and my quality of life is gone,I give up 😢😭
You can easily get cross-friction with a roller. Grab a hand towel and a 15lb weight. Place your leg on the roller and the towel on your shin to protect your bone and hold the weight in place on top of it. Then just roll your leg medially/laterally and also side to side.
Hi - I appreciate what you said. The fact is - although the roller does work to go across, it doesn't specifically get into the muscle in the same way. It's much more effective to use your thumbs, point by point, across the muscle horizontally.
If you're too fat, like me, to put your foot on your other knee, put your foot up on another chair or on your bed, and crook your foot back to your hands. I'm going to see if this massage works. And lose weight.

Simply wonderful instruction for plantar fasciitis. So helpful, thank you so so much, very kind, beautifully presented. This is it last word boom!!
His he massaging the achille tendon or massaging beside (or even under) the achille tendon? Thanks
How long should you be massaging, icing and rolling?
thanks it works
would a whole body vibration machine help with plantar fasciitis?
I found this method by trial and error. Good to see someone else posting this on TH-cam, and it did wonders for me.
just tried the massage on my foot, felt immediate relief, was a bit painful though, assumed this is a good thing

Keeping ourselves fit is also important. I try to walk too being in pain. I used to do elliptical but now I can’t because of plantar😢
@@user121304 elliptical doesn't hurt me that much as the impact is minimum. All I can say is that it's been 2 years and I'm still in pain :(
This is the perfect thing to do befor u step out of bed in the morning and do ur stretches for planter fasciitis
Will someone do this to me please?!
Wha tis the relationship between calf of leg and heel of plantar fasacisits i dont get the logic can some one educate
The tendon of calf muscle ( Achilles tendon) is inserted in the heel and connected to plantar fascia
So spam of calf muscle leads to heel pain
Ouch
