Health and Food / Re: Heel pain that feels like hell
August 13, 2010, 06:18:12 PM
Hi
I am also running and I am dealing with plantar fasciitis for more than a year now but my case was very painful. There are many things you can do to treat your PF although I understood that treatment efficiency is very individual.
When I started my plantar fasciitis treatment at the beginning I took a complete rest and gradually started walking and running. I also started swimming and riding a bicycle to complete my cardio exercise routine. I have found taping very useful but it is a supportive treatment (if you will decide to unsupport your feet). And I think that arch support has made my PF condition worse - the pain has moved also to my arches.
I have found a very good website page about foot strength exercises in:

Two more ideas that worked for me:
Think about your gait. This is the key for your recovery.
Try swimming and riding a bicycle. I used to run and I got plantar fasciitis so I started to swim and cycle. Today I’m better with my PF so I ended up as a triathlete.
Take care & Good luck
