very interesting stuff, folks. i completely 'cured' a case of plantar fasciitis (doctor's diagnosis) which had been around for over 5 years, (patient had spent a fortune on special boots) in approximately 2 weeks. All he did was SLR to P1 and then rhythmical DF of ankle. bingo!

very interesting, did you assess the patient to confirm plantar fasciitis?what brought you to this conclusion that this method of treatment may help?do you have any evidence to support it?
thanks laura

actually myofascial release practitioners do a very similar manouvre for plantar fascitis- iI did a course this year and the leader described a similar technique - if you appreciate that the body is interconnected fascia then a sustained stretch in this manner obviously gives the plantar fascia a good stretch...have a look at some myofascial release texts if you can as they detail the techniques you can use. Sadly there isn't a great deal of research out there at the moment!
