How to treat plantar fasciitis

Have you suffered from a plantar fasciopathy, a condition which used to be termed plantar fasciitis? It's really very common and can be a disabling condition. 'itis' implies inflammation but we now now that this is not primarily an inflammatory condition. In plantar fasciopathy, the plantar fascia loses it's ability to withstand load. The key to treating plantar fasciopathy therefore is to slowly re-expose the fascia to load.

In this short video Kieran Barnard, a physiotherapist from Flex Physiotherapy discusses the treatment principles and presents an evidence based simple rehabilitation programme. Simple conservative treatment with physio and a loading regime is normally sufficient to settle the symptoms of plantar fasciitis in time.
