Mark Stuart Senzig will demonstrate a video on how to assess and treat plantar fasciitis:

1) Assessment: Before beginning any treatment, it’s crucial to evaluate the individual’s posture, movement patterns, and any areas of tension or restriction in the body that might be contributing to plantar fasciitis.

2) Myofascial Release: Myofascial release techniques involve applying sustained pressure to the fascia to alleviate tension and enhance mobility.

3) Techniques such as sustained pressure, stretching, and skin rolling can be used on the foot, calf, and other areas connected to the plantar fascia. Trigger

4)Point Therapy: Trigger points are localized areas of muscle tension that can refer pain to other parts of the body. By applying targeted pressure to these trigger points, therapists can help ease pain and tension in the plantar fascia.

5)Fascial Stretching: Gentle stretching of the fascia and surrounding muscles can help improve flexibility, reduce tightness, and promote healing in the affected area.

6) Manual Therapy Techniques: Techniques like deep tissue massage, friction massage, and mobilization of the foot and ankle joints can improve circulation, reduce adhesions, and restore normal movement patterns.

Our concept emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body’s myofascial structures along specific lines.

Therapists may utilize this approach to assess and treat imbalances in the fascial system that might be contributing to plantar fasciitis.
