Question from patient: (Sydney)

My physio has given me some stretches for my plantar fasciitis. Hanging my heel off a step and pulling back on my toes. Is this right, as i dont seem to be getting better?

Answer:

No. Our experience at Sydney Heel Pain is that these stretches cause the fascia to pull more on the heel bone and increase heel pain. You should refrain from these stretches. Please see our video on the home page. www.sydneyheelpain.com.au

Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Spur Syndrome

Many people have heel spurs without having any pain at all.

People with chronic pain under the base of the heel actually have Plantar Fasciitis.

The pain always comes from the Plantar Fascia pulling on the heel bone and not from the spurs themselves.

Heel spurs are not the problem. Do not focus your treatment around the heel spurs, instead, focus on treating the Plantar Fasciitis.

Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis is different to treatment for heel spurs. With Plantar Fasciitis, the treatment needs to revolve around removing strain from the Plantar Fascia and not cushioning the heel as with heel spurs. Read more about Plantar Fasciitis Treatment.
