Ah...My Darn Heel Pain! (a self-taping protocol)

The reality with plantar fasciosis is that you can do all of the right "things" to manage it:

• custom orthoses

• orthopaedic footwear

• stretches

• rest

• night splint

• orthopaedic sandals around the house

and that horrible "stepping on glass"sensation may persist for months after taking action.
