    Re: Myofscial Trigger Point Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

    My observation is that neurologically the brain considers the calcaneus a pulley transferring the planter flexion force of the calf muscles to the toes. Posture distortions such as head forward creates a constant strain on this link. The over stimulation of the muscle motor points creates trigger points. Trigger points hold hypertonicity in the chain predisposing tearing with sudden force.
    As the podiatrist that I work with said when I first met him and explained what I do; "I need you! I am only trained to the knee. "
    So many chronic foot problems arise from overuse stress triggered by posture distortion. Teem work to support the foot for healing and reducing the overuse cause through bodywork is what I propose. The objective is to achieve functionality that supports optimum daily activity.

    Re: Myofscial Trigger Point Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

    Funny is it not

    they mentioned all the muscles to needle except the one that works immediately in 60% of cases. That is the abductor hallucis muscle.

    if this is the cause of their pain = often told it is PF it will stop their pain immediately, not later or 4 weeks later.

    Over the past 25 years I have needled hundres of them. Ask anyone who has been to the workshops about their outcomes.

    still raining

    I have had consistent success in the clinic with plantar fasciitis with TrP therapy and dry needling of the abductor hallucis and calf muscles. If you forget the calf muscles there is generally minimal improvement. Massage of the calf will aid stretching.

    "Clinicians familiar with myofascial release (MFR) note the many similarities between it and MIT. With different nuances, they are based on the same concept of clinical reasoning and complement each other. MIT is characterized as manual tissue remodeling, always avoiding arbitrary stimulus application (altered force intensity and direction), focusing on the intrinsic natural tissue response.”
    Pilat 2014. 'What's in a name.'
    Bet a lot of you will, like myself, will have scratched their head and thought 'MFR v MIT?' ( I'm not getting involved in the evidence base for either; just saving your keyboard fingers for MFR work).
    Your welcome.
