Here are the top three reasons I see people getting stuck battling plantar fasciitis.

There is so much bad information out there. I feel like most of it is typically misinformed or misguided and not intentional.

1) Reduce pain, restore mobility, build tolerance, restore mechanics, and GET STRONG!

Plantar fasciitis does get better.

Recovery from pain is not linear.

We have good days, we have bad days.

Understand this helps people see that “normal” is going through ups and downs.

Lock in, because success is on the other side of work and time.

Take care, God Bless!

Most people don’t realize there are two distinct types of Achilles tendonitis — insertional and non-insertional — and how they differ can completely change the way you manage recovery.

Non-Insertional Achilles Tendonitis affects the middle portion of the tendon, about 2–6 cm above the heel. It’s often linked to repetitive overload, training errors, or reduced calf flexibility.

Insertional Achilles Tendonitis, on the other hand, occurs where the tendon attaches to the heel bone. It’s commonly associated with heel compression, bone spurs, and Haglund’s deformity—and it typically worsens with uphill walking or over-stretching.

Both conditions share similar symptoms—pain, stiffness, and swelling—but their underlying causes and ideal treatments differ.
• Non-insertional cases benefit from full-range eccentric loading.
• Insertional cases respond better to modified heel-lowering (avoiding deep dorsiflexion).

Understanding which type you have is key to targeting the right plan for recovery.

These are applicable to rehab, mostly.

I have “lived” a lot in my 38 years.

Here are some of the simple things I have learned. I share them to ensure I don’t forget.

I think y’all are awesome. God has given me the ability to share helpful education about rehab and pain relief. I don’t talk about what God has done for me often, but here we go.

May 2, 2010 is my sobriety date.

I was drinking, taking drugs, and couldn’t stop. It is only through the grace of God that I am sober today.

I could stop on my own, but I couldn’t “stay stopped”.

It wasn’t until I asked God (through someone else’s suggestion) to remove the desire to drink and use AND act as if he would that I was able to lay it down and keep it away.

I always believed in God, but I wasn’t sure that he cared about me. BOY was I wrong!

Becoming sober was the catalyst that started my journey and relationship with God.

God loves you more than you can ever know. He desires to have a relationship with you.

One of my first ever real prayers: “God, I desire to know you”.

In case you didn’t know, I love you, and God does too.

Adult acquired flat foot is a progressive deformity that develops when the medial arch of the foot gradually collapses over time.
It’s most commonly linked to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), but can also result from ligament insufficiency, midfoot arthritis, or rearfoot arthritis.

The condition is typically classified into two categories:
1️⃣ Related to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
2️⃣ Not related to PTTD — often due to other soft tissue or joint changes.

In both cases, strength plays a key role in supporting the arch. The gastroc–soleus complex, peroneals, and intrinsic foot muscles all contribute to dynamic stability during standing and walking.

Maintaining strength through these muscle groups helps preserve arch integrity and reduce mechanical strain on the supporting structures of the foot.

Achilles Tendonitis is a bo**er. Typically people develop it after a sudden uptick in activity. New runners or runners increasing volume. Someone in a sport heavy with jumping such as basketball, or someone returning to the gym.

If this condition becomes chronic changes to the structure of the tendon will occur. This makes timely recovery from this condition super important.

Get out of pain, get back to work!
