Hi all,
I have been running with plantar fascia for the last two weeks, just easy base mileage. About 50 mpw. Question is have you ever just "run" thru it? I'm doing all the standard procedures, footlog, golfball, ice, night splint, no barefoot walking, and inserts in my casual shoes. Any more ideas? Suggestions?
I've been running through PF for about six months. As long as I take care of it, it doesn't get any worse. It gets a little better over time actually, it's just yet to go away totally. My case is mild though.
I'm staying away from flats during workouts for a while though. A single workout in flats will make it a lot worse. Trainers all day every day.
A few years back a letsrun poster said that after a month he went from a golf ball to a foos ball. The smaller circumference helped break up the scar tissue better. It might help, if scar tissue is contributing to your problem.
I've had PF off and on for the past 4 years and had to take off anywhere from 3 to 9 months at some point because I tried to run through it. I hated inserts but that was my last thing to try before I call it quits. I wore the powerstep pinnacle inserts (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_12/183-5452816-8804668?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=powerstep%20pinnacle&sprefix=powerstep+pi%2Caps%2C256&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Apowerstep%20pinnacle) for 6 weeks while building up the mileage and now I've run for 2 months without anything but my shoes. I have also switched from heavy trainers and a 10mm offset to a lighter weight 4mm offset shoe and it seems to be fine so far.
