#131 The Truth About Plantar Fasciitis

This episode of the podcast is all about plantar fascia pain. Plantar fasciitis, fasciopathy, fasciosis–it goes by many names, but it plagues many a runner. If you've ever gone looking for solutions online, you're guaranteed to find dozens of possible (and maybe contradictory) "solutions." As we often assert, treatment needs to be individualized, so finding a fix online could be problematic. Nathan, Matt, and DJ take a deep dive into the anatomy of the plantar fascia, mechanisms of stress & strain, risk factors, and more. And, of course, gives some considerations when it comes to shoes. If you've ever had PF pain, we hope this episode will give you a better understanding of what's going on with your pain.

The Subjective: have you ever experienced plantar fascia pain? How did you treat it?
