Plantar fasciitis is a common and painful condition caused by inflammation of the thick band of tissue that supports the foot arch. It affects athletes, runners, and people who stand for long hours. Massage therapy, offered locally in Port St. Lucie, provides proven relief by releasing tension, improving circulation, and speeding healing.
Causes & Symptoms
Plantar fasciitis develops from repetitive strain or poor foot mechanics. Symptoms include:
- Sharp heel pain, especially in the morning.
- Tight calves and Achilles tendons.
- Foot arch stiffness.
How Massage Heals the Feet
- Breaks up adhesions in the fascia.
- Improves circulation to speed tissue repair.
- Reduces inflammation and swelling.
- Restores flexibility to prevent recurrence.
A 2015 study found that massage combined with stretching significantly reduced pain and improved function in plantar fasciitis patients (Cotchett et al., 2015).
