Course Overview
Plantar fasciitis is characterized by pain and stiffness in the heel and the plantar aspect of the foot. It is usually a repetitive stress injury characterized by inflammation and irritation of the plantar fascia. Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, and occurs in all types of athletic and active individuals. It is commonly seen in runners. However, walking and standing on a hard surface may also cause symptoms.

The techniques discussed in this webinar have been found to be clinically useful by webinar instructor Whitfield Reaves. Needling includes the region of Kidney 1, and the attachment of the plantar fascia in the region of the extraordinary point Shimian. Because many patients with this type of heel pain have tight calf muscles, the Bladder meridian may also be involved and is commonly treated. In this webinar you will learn the treatment options that result in good clinical outcomes.

This series was introduced in 2011, and is based upon single individual sports injuries. Each course provides simple and direct video for first time viewing as well as to increase precision through repetition. Even if you have taken the newer series, Mastering the Treatment of Injury and Pain, this old series is still an excellent resource for review and is filled with clinical gems.
