Plantar fasciitis massage
Plantar fasciitis is irritation of the plantar Fascia, the strong band under the sole of the foot that runs from the heel to the toes. It is usually felt as heel pain with the first steps in the morning or after sitting.

Why the calf matters
At the heel, the plantar Fascia is continuous with the Achilles and the calf. Tight calves increase the pull through the sole of the foot with every step, so the calves are treated as well as the foot.

At home
Before getting out of bed, draw circles with each foot. Roll the arch over a ball for two minutes and stretch the calves on a step morning and evening. Supportive shoes around the house help while it settles.
Reviews
Massage for plantar fasciitis reviews
It opened my body up loads to where I could train harder for longer, and recover faster. I've sent people to James with fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica and everyone has been helped.
After one treatment session with James I was moving better than I had before. After two treatment sessions I started to feel optimistic about a pain free future.
