What Triggers Plantar Fasciitis Pain? 👉 Plantar fasciitis causes persistent foot pain, making daily activities challenging. 👉 It's common in runners and individuals with tight tendons, improper footwear, or sudden changes in physical activity. 👉 Gentle stretching during massage sessions helps loosen tight structures and improve flexibility. Plantar fasciitis, a painful condition of the foot, often arises from factors affecting the plantar fascia, the ligament connecting the heel to the toes. Sudden increases in physical activity, such as intensified training for runners or changes in training surfaces, can trigger this condition. Tightness in the Achilles tendon and improper footwear are also known triggers. This condition can be debilitating, hindering daily activities and causing persistent pain. Massage therapy plays a crucial role in managing plantar fasciitis. By manipulating soft tissues like muscles and tendons, it enhances circulation and reduces tension. A skilled massage therapist can use deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to target the plantar fascia and surrounding muscles, providing significant relief. #manualtherapy #massagetherapy #triggerpoints #naturaltherapy #education #plantarfasciitis #footpainrelief #heelpain #foothealth #holistichealing Practitioners seeking professional development opportunities, who want to learn more about our online CEU courses, give us a call. 1-800-741-5716 🙂👍
