~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Heal~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you know it takes between 3-12 months to heal from Plantar Fasciitis (bottom of the foot and/or heel pain)? It is a real bugger – its faster to get and much slower to resolve. Try a few of my tips to get better faster
- Stretch your foot and ankle before getting out of bed first thing in the morning
- Wear shoes and/or supportive slippers around the house and avoid going barefoot at home
- Get fitted for proper exercise sneakers and replace your shoes regularly
- Consider getting a pair of over the counter orthotics/shoe inserts – the research has shown them to be as effective as a first line of defense against plantar fasciitis
- Be patient. The average healing time frame is around 9 months!
- Get treatment! Physical Therapy is an excellent way to knock it out!

Patience is definitely a virtue. And with featuring Plantar Fasciitis this month, you cannot ignore methods to improve patience. Some things that may help:
- Accept your emotions but don’t dwell there for too long!
- Reframe the situation:
- Know that everything in life is temporary – what you are experiencing right now is not going to last forever.
- Take an active role:
- Start small and stay committed!
- See your doctor and physical therapist, and take their advice!
- Track your progress:
- Don’t forget to look back on where you were and compare to where you are now once you start treating your ailment. It is easy to get lost in the weeds.
