Since my running mileage increased I’ve been fighting some plantar fasciitis issues. Through acupuncture, massage therapy, ice, stretching & ibuprofen I’ve been able to keep it from getting too bad. That being said I decided it would be a good idea to pull out the big guns as far as treatment. Monday I acquired (purchased) the Trigger Point Performance Therapy Plantar Fasciitis kit. This is a set of tools that focus on the muscles in the lower leg that causes the pain in the foot (not butt) that is plantar fasciitis.
I was first introduced to Trigger Point about a year ago at Eastside Multisport Center. The founder of TP was there sponsoring an event & giving his pitch. The way the products worked seemed logical & I went back to EMC for a group session to use the products. At that point I was about 7 months off a broken leg & the TP rollers were a bit aggressive/painful. Since then I’ve been using the low-tech old foam roller, when I started using the foam roller it was also quite painful but over time I’ve got used to it.
It’s to early for a review on the products but as time goes by I’ll post my results & give a full review.
