Thursday's Reflections

Last night I was talking to a friend who is a podiatrist in Canberra. Having talked through the symptoms and doing a bit of reading we think it is Plantar Fasciitis.

A good website to read about this type of injury is: Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain

The treatment strategy is as follows:

• Reduce the hill running.
• Focus more on swimming (you got to be kidding!) and cycling
  
• Stretch, stretch and stretch
• Ice (as per the website above)
• Strapping
• Massage
• Physio

The strapping is to look similar to this:

On an up side it might be beneficial for my cycling and swimming having to focus on these two disciplines.
