Foot or Heel Pain- What to do if you have it

Dealing with lower calf, heel or bottom of the foot pain?  It's very common for active and non-active people alike.  There are few things more annoying in life than when you wake up in the morning, and the first step you take leads to excruciating sharp pain in your foot (plantar fasciitis or heel spurs).   Consistent long-lasting irritation and stiffness of the heel or calf (achilles tendonosis) isn't much better, either.  If these conditions progress and are left untreated, it will lead to degeneration, more pain and compensation that will chew up other parts of your body.

Luckily, there's something you can do about this.  You'll want to increase the flexibility of your toes and ankles so they can be more of a 'shock absorber' in every single step you take.  AND once you effectively do that, not only will you no longer be in pain, but you'll be able to move more efficiently and increase you're performance whether your a runner, Crossfitter or just a normal person trying to get through your day.

Here's the good stuff:

Manual Therapy

• ART to ankle to increase the flexibility into dorsiflexion

• ART to the achilles and calf

• ART to the plantar fascia

Exercises

• Toe Extension 

• Ankle Mobilizations
