Recent post from clinical edge (here) inspires thought when it comes to treatment of plantar fasciopathy. Specifically stretching and loading of the plantar fascia should be performed within the tolerance level of the tissue. It also needs to be specialised according to each patient's needs, whether thats the athlete, moderately active or elder person that we talk about.
Interestingly, a 2016 single-blinded trial by Kamonseki et al. (link) shows that either stretching and strengthething or stretching alone might have no difference at all when it comes to pain and overall function.
So .. do you stretch the PLANTAR FASCIA ?
