BEST TREATMENTS FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS IS REST
posted: Dec. 05, 2019.
According to podiatrist Robert Weiss, DPM, "Therapy for plantar fasciitis includes resting from your respective event and going to an alternate aerobic activity such as swimming or biking to stay in cardiovascular condition. I am a firm believer in long distance walking to increase blood flow to the tissues as our body’s healing element."

"A biomechanical evaluation should be instituted to check on imbalances of the foot and pronation. It is important to remember that perhaps the best treatment for the athlete is rest. Plantar fasciitis is common to many of the sports as well as just walking," says Dr. Weiss.
