How to Fix Plantar Fasciitis (NO MORE HEEL PAIN!)

Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common recurring tendonitis injuries that active people will have to deal with. Often times, the reason why the plantar fascia keeps getting inflamed and the symptoms keep coming back is due to the fact that we never truly treat the cause of the pain rather just the source of the pain. In this video, I’m going to show you what is really causing your heel pain so you can finally fix it forever.

First, it helps to understand the role of the plantar fascia. The real job of this tough structure is to support your arch in standing. It runs from the calcaneus or heel distally towards the tendon sheaths of the toes. Essentially, it spans the entire arch and can be felt if you strum across this area with your thumb. For those that have inflammation of the fascia, you feel a distinct knife-life stabbing pain in your heel when you take a step (especially in the morning).

The reason the symptoms are particularly worst in the morning is that the plantar fascia has had a chance to shorten and tighten up a bit over night with your foot remaining in a plantar flexed position mostly from the covers pulling your ankle down. Even later in the day however, the pain is obvious and it prevents those that suffer from it from walking, running or competing normally.

The problem is that people often times will seek out treatment for their plantar fasciitis and be left with either no resolution to the problem or worse, they feel slightly better but the pain comes back quickly. This is because doing nothing but ultrasounding, rubbing, massaging or rolling a lacrosse ball on the arch is not getting at the real problem. You are simply attacking the symptom and not the cause. So let’s get to the cause.

Most of the time, if you test your calf flexibility on the side of pain and determine that you have calf tightness then you definitely want to fix that since that is almost always the cause of same sided pain. The problem is however, doing a traditional hanging standing calf stretch off the stairs is not going to fix this pain. Instead, you need to realize that the pain is coming from the inability of the foot to maintain a rigid position at the time you lift your heel off the ground to propel your body. It is maintaining an everted heel with a loose midfoot which creates an unstable foot to try and press off of. This will result in an enormous amount of stress being shifted to the fascia to do something it is not equipped to do.

So if you want to stretch your calf you have to place the foot back in the position you are struggling to maintain. This is shown in three different ways in the video. Now, if the pain you are getting is coming from a side that does not exhibit calf tightness then you would want to look to the opposite side glute medius for weakness or a lack of thoracic extension or rotation to that side.

When the glute medium is weak on the opposite hip you get a dropping of the hip on that side. This forces the opposite foot (the one you are having the pain on) into pronation and creates an unstable foot once again. Either way, regardless of what the cause is you can see that it has nothing to do with the foot itself and everything to do with the joints above like the ankle, hip or spine.

TOP 7 Upper Body Exercises for Runners (BODYWEIGHT TRAINING)

*You can be a lot faster (and stronger) if you focused on your upper body. Watch this video and see the TOP 7 Upper Body Exercises for Runners.*

Here’s a FREE 5-Minute Core Workout:
http://www.criticalbench.com/coreworkout

===

Having a strong upper body not only helps you move better and improve posture and can also help you run faster. Not only that but it can significantly enhance your running while helping with injury prevention as well.

The first thing we must remember is upper body is involved when you run. Some of the biggest muscles are up top. Even the upper body muscles are absolutely required in movements like standing up, sitting down, and of course, running. Without upper body strength, these activities would be extremely difficult.

In this video Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach & Triathlon Coach Brian Klepacki shares with you TOP 7 Upper Body Exercises for Runners that will help you strengthen and tone your upper body so you can run faster, farther, and with less effort! A little upper body training goes a long way especially with running.

Many people take their body for granted. Having weak and/or inhibited muscles can cause more problems than people realize. A weak upper body can lead to a myriad of health issues; most commonly found being muscle imbalances.

Here are a few surprising health problems than can be linked directly a weak upper body:

• Poor posture. Over time, weak muscles can cause your body to slightly forward (a.k.a. anterior pelvic tilt). If not corrected, this anterior pelvic tilt can lead to upper and lower body injuries.

• Knee pain. A weak core can cause increased pressure on the cartilage around your knee. This is due to a higher amount of internal rotation on the femur.

• Diminished sports performance. A strong upper body is essential for sports performance. Explosive movements seen in exercises such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, football, and running all require upper body strength.

Since the legs get in great shape through running, it’s important to take care of the upper body and that’s why you need to take these 7 upper body bodyweight exercises and use them in your weekly routine.

Here are the TOP 7 Upper Body Exercises for Runners:

Helicopter
Push Up with Shoulder Tap
Hercules Pose
Alternating Superman
Prone Y
High Low Plank
Alternating Shoulder Press

If you stick to the exercises given by Coach Brian, you absolutely will dramatically impact your ability to run more efficiently, and reduce fatigue allowing you to finish feeling stronger and ready for more.

5 MUST-DO Stability Ball Planks (STRONG Core & Ripped Abs)

*Sick of doing boring planks? Here are the 5 MUST-DO Stability Ball Planks that you should do to get a strong core & ripped abs.*

FREE 5-Minute CORE Workout:
http://www.criticalbench.com/coreworkout

===

One of the big developments in core training over the recent past is the use of “plank” exercises. We at Critical Bench are fans of planking for many reasons. But at a certain point, planks aren’t enough. And in this video, Coach Brian shares with you the 5 MUST-DO Stability Ball Planks.

Planks are a wonderful alternatives to crunches and sit ups, as they increase core strength and spinal stabilization while maintaining a neutral spine, thus eliminating the constant flexing and extending of the spinal column but they aren’t for everybody.

As simple as the plank exercise may look, they’re not easy. As with any exercise, if not done with good technique, there is a risk of injury.

Pay attention to Jillian’s form in this video to make sure you are doing your planks correctly and safely. If the core is too weak, the spine will sag, causing compression in the vertebrae, pressure on vertebral discs, and/or shoulder joint inflammation.

Here are the 5 MUST-DO Stability Ball Planks:

1) Elbow Plank
2) Buzzsaw Plank (elbows)
3) High Plank (hands on ball)
4) Buzzsaw Plank (hands)
5) High Plank (feet on ball)

If you have a comment or question, post it now below and Coach Brian will respond to it for you. Thanks for watching!
