(Sharing the latest newsletter from my fave 'Stretch' man, Brad Walker of the 'Stretching Institute'. He's seriously good.) Welcome to another issue of The Stretching & Sports Injury Report. I've got 2 articles for you this week: The first is called Plantar Fasciitis, which is a very painful foot condition that affects the arch of the foot. The article includes both treatment and prevention strategies, plus 2 foot stretches that will help ease foot arch pain and tightness. Plantar Fasciitis Treatment and Stretches If the link above isn't working, copy and paste the address below into your web browsers address field. http://www.thestretchinghandbook.com/archives/plantar-fasciitis.php The 2nd article this week is one that I dug out of the archive from 2007, but it's just as relevant and up-to-date for today. It's called Pronation and Supination and discusses how to choose the right shoes to support your foot type. What is Pronation and Supination? If the link above isn't working, copy and paste the address below into your web browsers address field. http://www.thestretchinghandbook.com/archives/pronation-supination.php Until next time; stay healthy, keep stretching and God bless. Kind regards The Stretching Institute 47-47 36th Street Suite #3208 Long Island City, NY 11101 United States

I used to have really bad PF to the point where I could not put any weight at all on my heels when I first got up and had to use a wheelchair to get around in the mornings. I found a stretch like this one was the best. Also has some good research into it. http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/index.cfm?id=1275I don't do it exactly like that - I do a two handed version that I find easier but I can't find a picture of it anywhere on the net so I may have invented it. Also a cortisone shot in the heels helped. It says in the article to do it to the count of 10 and then repeat it 10 times. I was told by a physio that its now thought to be better to hold each stretch for much longer (up to a minute or two) and do less repetitions.
