👣 Ever get out of bed in the morning and feel like someone snuck in overnight and swapped your feet for Lego bricks? 🧱
That, my friends, is how some people describe what it feels like to have plantar fasciitis.
Here’s how I explain it for clients so it’s easier to understand how it happens.
Imagine chicken. 🐔 You know that thin, stretchy layer of tissue between the skin and the meat?
That’s fascia. It covers the bottom of our feet (and plenty of other stuff too) 👣
Now, imagine that tissue in your foot getting tiny tears.
Overnight, while you’re sleeping like an angel, it starts the repair process. It is starting to heal.
When your eyes pop open and you bounce out of bed like a kangaroo, you put all your weight on the not-so-healed tender tootsies and BAM! 💥 Those almost repairs explode like bubble wrap. 🤕 💥
Here’s the kicker: it’s not just your foot causing the fuss.
The calf muscle is like an overzealous tug-of-war partner, pulling on that poor fascia all day long.
Tight calves = extra tension = more pain.
So, where does reflexology come in?
✨ Reflexology may help release calf tension
✨ May improve circulation to speed healing
✨ May bring back mobility and relief without invasive treatments
It’s like giving your feet (and calves!) the spa day they deserve, but with a purpose. 🌿
If your mornings are starting with a hobble instead of a happy step, it’s time to get those feet (and fascia) some TLC.
Book in today so see how reflexology can start changing your life. 👣 🤚🏻
