Plantar Fasciitis Myths Debunked: Real Solutions for Foot Pain

The Joanne Avison Podcast

Join Joanne and Paul in this fascinating episode as they share insights - and debunk some common myths - around Plantar Fasciitis. There's often different reasons FOR the pain, and it can need a variety of different treatments depending on the root cause. Sometimes Plantar Fasciitis is blamed on high arches, sometimes on low arches (flat feet). Sometimes there’s shin splints (from overuse) and sometimes lack of motion is blamed. Often it’s hard to know what, where and why you, or a client, might be struggling - it just hurts.

So in this episode we're bringing together our decades of experience in treating people and teaching movement, to help unravel this debilitating condition. We explore the intricate architecture of the foot, the various causes behind this painful condition, and why personalized treatment is crucial. We discuss how factors like genetics, early development, and even the type of shoes worn during childhood contribute to the condition. And we share valuable advice on differentiating treatment approaches, the impact of surface interfaces on foot health, and the importance of respecting our body's natural tissue intelligence.
We hope you enjoy the conversation and leave it feeling better informed and equipped in dealing with - or preventing - foot pain!
