prolapse and plantar fasciitis

Body: 

Hi

I recently developed plantar fasciitis and a heel spur, It's both painfull and right now a nuiscance but at the beginning quite knocked me out.. You're very limited with what you can do when walking is painfull

Anyway, i know that osteopath's connect the foot and the pelvis and i think reflexologists too.. for me the connection is weak connecive tissue and kidney energy from a trad chinese medicine perspective..

Anyway while i'm glad whatever weakness was occuring for me went there instead of to my genital's :) i am curious to hear whether anyone else has had this and any tip's they may have when dealing with it

It's on it's way out, thank's to lot's of acupuncuture and poultice's etc.. but i'd like to speed it up even more!

Stay in the posture and work extra hard to stretch your calf muscles several times a day.

try walking around barefoot as much as possible. a good foot massage might help too. and you probably already know this, but avoid wearing high heels. not only do you want to stretch the calf muscles, but also the muscles in the arch of your foot.

I developed plantar fascitis a few months ago. At first I had no idea what it was - I just knew it was painful to walk. Walking is my favorite form of exercise and stress relief, so this was a big deal. My daughter is a cross-country runner, and she consulted her coach who suggested that it might be p.f. He recommended arch-supports. I have flat feet (fallen arches), and I had worn orthopedic shoes as a kid - with built-in arch-supports. Anyway, long story short, I bought some Dr. Scholl's gel arch supports, put them in my walking shoes, and the pain disappeared within a day or two! I use them all the time now (if your're in the US, I found the best place to buy them is Target - much cheaper than drug stores).
Happy feet, happy walking!
