How To Use a Percussion Massager For Plantar Fasciitis

Percussion massager for plantar fasciitis

In the later years of your life, from ages 40 – 60, you may experience the discomforting agony of plantar fasciitis. Many activities, like long-distance running, dancing, and tennis to name a few, can trigger this sharp pain in your foot that immobilizes you for a short period of time.

You don’t need to rush to an orthopedic doctor right away. The Quantum Percussion Massager by Spectral Body can give you fast-acting relief if it is used correctly.

 

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

who gets plantar fascitis

Plantar fasciitis is described by many as a very painful condition caused by inflammation within the bands of tissue that link your heel to your toes.

The symptoms of this injury include pain in the bottom of the foot at the very center of your heel bone. Many claims that it always feels worse when waking up in the morning when you jump out of bed and take the first step of the day.

If you go to a doctor, they can usually determine the condition by examining your feet for tender areas. Usually, a doctor will be able to judge right away and it is rare for an X-Ray to be required (unless they have a reason to believe that it could be a stress fracture to the bone or pinched and compressed nerves).

Plantar Fasciitis is a condition that usually goes away on its own after a couple of months. You can take over-the-counter medications that prevent inflammation and lower the pain, which will make you feel more comfortable overall. Stretching and massaging your feet can also help speed up the healing time, which we are going to go over here.

 

Who gets Plantar Fasciitis?

There are many types of people that can be vulnerable to plantar fasciitis. Some people who are prone to get this afflictive foot injury include:

People from ages 40 – 60. So all of you Baby Boomers are likely going to experience this inevitable pain at least once in your lifetime. Think of a tire on the road, after so many miles you are bound to experience a flat. The human version of a flat tire is plantar fasciitis, no only because it is painful but also because it is only temporary and can be fixed.

Athletes. If you are avid in any sport that requires high amounts of running like track and field, marathon running, soccer, or football, there is a chance that during your professional career you will get plantar fasciitis.

People With Bad Foot Mechanics. So if you have underlying conditions like flat feet, a high arch, or an irregular walking pattern that affects the way weight is distributed in your steps, you can have episodes of plantar fasciitis. If you wear high heels quite often this can cause imbalances in your feet. Also, your weight is distributed unevenly, which adds force to your foot putting it in an unnatural position.

Being overweight is troublesome enough, but instances of plantar fasciitis can occur due to the extra pounds which put extra pressure on your feet.

Jobs that require you to be on your feet can also cause plantar fasciitis. Occupations like factory workers, crossing guards, cashiers, and teachers who spend most of their hours walking and standing on hard surfaces all day can slowly damage the plantar fascia. Some workplaces are aware of this and equip their employees with sponge-like mats to stand on.

 

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

plantar fasciitis pain

Let’s breakdown the technical cause of plantar fasciitis. Try to imagine your plantar fascia is in the shape of a bowstring. It supports the arch of your foot and absorbs the shock when you’re taking a stroll. When tension and stress on this bowstring become excessive, small tears occur in the fascia

Repeated trauma can irritate and inflame the fascia, causing stabbing pain at the bottom of your foot near the heel. There usually is a delayed reaction after the exercise or activity before pain occurs.

 

Stretches For Plantar Fasciitis

After you get this injury, it’s not a bad idea to first do some basic stretches to relieve the pain. You can lighten the load on your heels by performing these simple exercises at home, courtesy of personal trainer and triathlete Deborah Lynn Irmas of Santa Monica, CA.

The Calf Stretch

plantar fasciitis calf stretch

  1. Start by standing within an arm’s length from the wall.
  2. Stagger your legs and place your right foot directly behind your left in a straight line.
  3. Gingerly bend your forward leg in a forward motion.
  4. Your back leg should remain straight and you should focus on keeping your right heel on the ground.
  5. Once in this position, maintain the stretch for approximately 30 seconds then release. Try repeating 3 times.
  6. Swap leg positions and repeat.

The purpose of this stretch is to target the gastrocnemius muscle in your calf. When your plantar fascia starts to recover and the pain dissipates, you may try out this stretch by performing it with both legs slightly bent. By doing it this way, the stretch loosens the soleus muscle in the lower calf. Always be cautious and remember that it’s important to not hold the stretch positions for too long.

 

The Plantar Fascitis Chair Stretch Series

For this alleviating stretch, you can perform it while sitting down. This may be the most practical option if you are experiencing severe pain in your feet.

  1. While seated, you should roll your foot backward then forward repeatedly with either a foam roller or a frozen water bottle. A frozen bottle of Smart Water works best because of its cylinder shape. Continue to do this exercise for a few minutes and then switch to the alternate foot.
  2. The second part of this exercise will require you to cross one leg over the other and grab your big toe. After you grab your big toe, pull it gently towards you while rotating it in a 360-degree motion then circle the toe counterclockwise. Perform this toe wiggle a few times then switch to the other foot.
  3. The last seated exercise includes taking a towel then folding it lengthwise and placing your foot inside it as if you were placing it into a horse saddle. With both hands, gently pull the top of the foot towards you and hold for 30 seconds. After you’re done, stretch the other foot.

Shoes To Wear For Plantar Fasciitis

There are many ways to manage plantar fasciitis. One approach is to search for proper footwear for work, leisure, and exercise. The arch and heel support that you need sometimes is not present in your favorite shoe brands.

Types Of Shoes For Plantar Fasciitis

Midfoot Support

Someone that is suffering from plantar fasciitis should opt for shoes with an extra-rigid sole and cushioning for the mid-foot area in order to prevent impact directly on the heel.

Firm Heel Support

The back of the heel support surrounding the Achilles tendon should be considered when buying shoes. A firm heel counter support lowers the amount of abnormal stretching of the plantar fascia. This can get rid of pain and inflammation in the heel and arch of the foot.

Every foot is different and experts like podiatrists can be hesitant to recommend a one size fits all shoe solution. Try many pairs and make sure you inform the vendor before purchasing the shoes that you may possibly have to return them if they aggravate your condition.
