He is a 39 year old male who is very active - predominantly running and triathalons.<br />
Was running and noticed a sharp pain in the sole of his right foot &#039;felt like i had been shot&#039;.<br />
He visited a physio who treated him for plantar fasciitis - stretching, massage, post night splints etc...<br />
