Plantar fasciitis or fasciopathy (PF) is the most common cause of heel pain and occurs in sedentary and active individuals. The pain most commonly occurs at the front of the heel where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel bone (calcaneus). Symptoms are typically sharp in nature and present after initially standing in the morning, after prolonged standing or when returning to standing after being seated for some time. PF is more common in runners and overweight individuals and can be associated with other factors like arch type, lower quarter strength and overall ankle and foot mobility. The following link will take you to my TH-cam video that shows rehab exercises for plantar fasciitis. th-cam.com/video/8s84jwwBx0I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mh5tgTOAK_GkUrux For a FREE PDF with some of the best, evidence-based exercises used to treat plantar fasciitis, make sure to subscribe to my podcast webpage at the following link. rehabscience.com/podcast/ My book has comprehensive programs for the 50 most common conditions including a program for plantar fasciitis.

Loved this informative video! Do you think you could also do a future podcast on posterior tibialis tendinitis/tendinopathy, adhesive capsulitis or lumbar radiculopathy? 😊 i was also wondering why some people have extreme external rotation of their feet when they are walking, does that predispose them to pathologies? Thank you in advance!
I’m so glad to hear that it arrived! I really hope that you enjoy the book and find it to be helpful! Let me know if you ever have any questions about which program to utilize.
tks for sharing. in your book rehab science, you mentioned "Many tendons 『get irritated』 when they are compressed as well. The hamstring tendons that attach to your pelvis under the sit bones are known to 『remain aggravated』 with prolonged sitting because they are compressed between your pelvis and the chair." get irritated and remain aggravated means inflammation, pain ,or just slightly discomfort?
We don’t really see true inflammation with tendons, but compression of the tendon can increase pain and discomfort. The upper hamstring tendon is a great example of this where sitting is known to compress the tendon against the bottom of the pelvic bone (ischial tuberosity) and slow the healing process.
I did my undergraduate degree in health and human performance and then I did my doctorate in physical therapy at Chapman University. You can go to any college that awards a bachelors degree in order to get started working towards becoming a physical therapist.
Is it possible for one foot to be narrower than the other? And how would that affect foot strength and walking and pain? Does that make it impossible to ever have pain free feet or proper balance?❤😊
Most people often have feet that are slightly different in terms of their size and shape. There isn’t a correlation with foot size/shape and the likelihood of developing foot problems, so I definitely wouldn’t stress about those differences.
Great video! I also watched your hallux limitus video and now after watching this one I feel like I might have a bit of both. Would you recommend doing both types of exercises? All I really want to get back to is running 🥲
Thank you! Yes, if you think both conditions are occurring simultaneously, I would recommend implementing the exercises from both videos. Improving big toe mobility will likely help reduce plantar fascia pain.
I think in my case age is one factor and prolong standing is the cause and I think I am suffering with two pproblem one is planter facitis and TTS. I am suffering since December 2023.I used to walk 8km daily now I can not. But I do streching exercise . Should I start walking again? Thanks for your explanation of planter facitis and TTS exercises.
@@shubhada1960 Sorry to hear you are struggling with these issues. I would try to gradually reintroduce walking, but would consider trying an over the counter orthotic to see if you can unload the plantar fascia and tibial nerve a bit. Here is an example orthotic that would be worth trying. a.co/d/9BLdyzx

Thanks again! I love how organized and clear your presentations are.
Happy to share! Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you sir for attaining more information about plantar fascia
My pleasure!

I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the episode! I will definitely plan to do future episodes on those common conditions that you mentioned.
Dr. Tom, your book came today!!! Thanks!❤😊

@@RehabScience thank you for responding so quickly. I really like your book.
@@b1acat no problem! So glad to hear you are enjoying my book!
Good work
Thank you!
Very good explanation
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Maybe they spent their whole life drumming stomping on an aluminum pedal for the kick drum.😅
😂😂
Thank you dear colleague Help me with explanations for a TH-cam channel for physiotherapy work
You’re welcome! I’m glad my content is helpful!
Yes
Dr.Tom I want to know how did you start becoming a PT what school did you go to because I want to continue my education in the PT field
I did my undergraduate degree in health and human performance and then I did my doctorate in physical therapy at Chapman University. You can go to any college that awards a bachelors degree in order to get started working towards becoming a physical therapist.
Ice/cold therapy?
Can be used to help with pain.

I got the naked shoes. They are great.
Barefoot shoes. Not naked.
Changing shoe wear and altering stress on the tissue can definitely help with plantar fasciitis.
My like is number 33
THANK YOU
You’re welcome!
