Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Roadmap

This book has been designed to provide a complete overview of the available treatments for plantar fasciitis, and guidance on how to select an approach to a cure that is right for you. We include many helpful links to other resources and support pages on the Internet. The causes, such as running, and both the advantages and risks of specific treatments, are considered, with a focus on the underlying disease process. Our emphasis is on the progression of this condition, with special reference to the therapeutic value of body movement and awareness training. We have our preferred approach, which is presented, but we leave all options on the table, along with people's plantar fasciitis stories. These vignettes are incorporated into our ongoing research on available treatments for this widespread and painful condition, which really can interfere with your enjoyment of life. The authors, Kevin, aka FitOldDog, and Rebecca, combine their extensive skills in 'Pathology (the study of disease) and Ironman-Distance Triathlons' and 'Body Movement Expertise and Dance', respectively, to tackle a truly challenging problem. The book is designed to help you to escape from the plantar fasciitis treatment maze, as quickly and cost effectively as possible, and to return with happy feet to your activity of choice.
