I cannot stress to you how important taking care of your feet are. If you do not treat them with the attention they deserve, they will eventually fail you.

This thought progress shouldn’t be isolated to the feet, it should be considered for the endure body.

You only get one body. We often take it for granted while it’s good.

Hypermobility can lead to higher likelyhood of problems from instability. This is not a blanket statement and is not true for everyone who is hypermobile. The literature has limitations and the answers are not clear currently.

However, stability and mobility have an inversely related relationship. More stability = less mobility and vice versa.

What would I do if I were hypermobile? I would introduce as much stability into the system as I could through strengthening.

Post up any questions you have below!

If you see that I am calling it fasciopathy vs fasciitis, here is why. Planter Fasciitis does a poor job of accurately representing what is happening in the foot. Fasciopathy highlights the degenerative tissue changes that occur in a chronic cases.

I’ll likely call it plantar fasciitis for simplicity sake. At the end of the day I’m not sure anyone really cares too much about the nuance in a name. However, understanding why this pathology is better represented by calling it fasciopathy will help a ton.

I feel like now is a good time to start talking about it. I’m a long way off, and there is a TON of work to do.
But I am working on something BIG for those suffering with plantar fasciitis. I can’t reveal too much because quite honestly I don’t know what the heck I’m doing.

The only thing I do know is…

I want to be able to help as many people as possible.

It’s going to be the highest quality thing possible, anywhere.

Also, typing speed and accuracy would be SUPER helpful right about now.

If you have been following me for a while you know the most important thing I can do is help people. Primarily I get to do that via pathology education, risk factors and exercise.

I often get messaged with very specific requests about solving a big issue for someone.

It would be downright dangerous to offer advice in that way in the comments or messages.

I don’t know what the solution to this problem is yet, but that’s what I’ll have sorted out in 2026.

Thanks for all of the support!

How long is this going to take?? That is one of the first questions I get with a new patient.

The real answer….it depends.

There are so many variables involved that it’s truly an impossible question to answer accurately.

A good diagnosis, great plan, and proper dosing is required. That’s what makes a physical therapist great.

This is one of my favorite tolerance building movements for plantar fasciitis pain. In the first two episodes I showed you how to improve range where it was needed most and here I show you how to start the process of improving tolerance to load.

This movement in particular hits all of the important areas, creating mechanical tension exactly where you need it.

Modifications for this movement include decreasing the height of the object for your toe, decreasing the height of the heel raise, or decreasing the time you hold the movement.

I hope you are getting as much value out of this series as I have enjoyed making it.

Like and follow! Plenty more to come!

If you have plantar fasciitis then you need to see this video.

This is a general breakdown of how I would approach and solve the loading intolerance problem that is plantar fasciitis.

If you have stopped in the pain relief/protection phase then you will likely never fully solve the problem to best keep it away.

Share this with a friend who has plantar fasciitis. If your program isn’t progressing to getting you very strong, you’re missing out on the largest component to long term relief.
