When I go to get my legs worked on for my Plantar Fasciitis (that seems to never leave me alone for more than 3 or 4 weeks), it's not all fun and games and just a simple enjoyable leg massage.
Dr. Laurie Buob uses these metal rods, and rubs my calves, and sole of the foot.
Yellow - My upper cales
Green - My lower calves
Red - The soles of my feet.
It's a technique called GRASTON TECHNIQUE. Click on this link to click through some slides and read about it.,
It hurts a hell of a lot when she does it, but the outcome is quite good and i can usually walk and run pain free for several days.
I then get Electrostimulation on my calf muscles for 10 minutes, and ulstrasound on the soles of my feet.
It sounds like something you'd never want to do, but I promise it's well worth it if you have calf or foot pains.
Laurie is excellent at what she does and I highly recommed her. Tell her I sent yoo!
