Massage can help Planter Fasciitis in the acute, subacute stage and chronic (when the bottom of the foot is swollen or just happened it is in the acute stage, and in subacute stage the fascia will be starting to form again, chronic stage the fascia will have healed with layers of scar tissue and be a constant problem and pain). Each stage will look different for massage and be complimented with kinesiology to help regain strength and fix mobility imbalances. All of our therapists are trained to know what treatments will be successful in each stage of your injury.
