"TRAINING TIP OF THE WEEK:

INJURY PREVENTION SERIES! Preventing Plantar Fasciitis By Dr Kevin Christie D.C. CSCS. "

Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain in runners. It involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, which runs across the bottom of your foot — connecting your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your very first steps in the morning. Once your foot limbers up, the pain of plantar fasciitis normally decreases, but it may return after long periods of standing, getting up from a seated position, or running/waling. For causes, prevention and treatment, or for full print out Click Here!
