[quote=Anonymous]Good luck to everyone suffering from PF. When I was running a lot, I would get occasional flare ups…mid arch and medial. A couple times a flare up was bad enough that I went to the podiatrist and each time I went through a regimen of three cortisone shots two weeks apart. These were very effective for me. Other times I self treated using a night splint and stretches as listed in The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution by Jim Johnson. These were both helpful. A couple times when running I felt like my foot was telling me that it was getting ready to lay the smack down. I’m a heavier heel-striker, and I sensed that my foot was tensed up during heel striking. It was like my foot/ankle was trying to fight the natural direction it need to go during that part of my stride. I then developed the habit of concentrating on relaxing my foot while running so that my foot was not tense when subjected to shocks. It’s difficult to explain…but this too was very effective.[/quote]
