Trainer Tuesday with RJ Geary

What is plantar fasciitis?

Plantar refers to the sole, while the fascia is a fibrous band of elastic tissue connected from the heel to all five joints behind the toes.  The inflammation of this tissue is plantar fasciitis, which is also known as heel pain.


What are some cures for plantar fasciitis? 

Many cases are mild and usually can be cured or relieved by wearing better footwear.  Generally when adding more arc support in your footwear it will help to fix the problem, also using over the counter arc supports can be very beneficial.  If you have a more sever case then its recommend to consult with a podiatrist(foot doc). Shoes can be a very important part of not only working out but every day aches and pains in your knees hips and lower back.  Running is one of the hardest things on your lower body, by wearing better footwear it can help to mina gate that pain.

Thanks for your time and questions!
