Why do so many people turn to reflexology to help with Planter Fasciitis?
I believe this comes down to the misconception that foot reflexology only treats & helps the feet.

However we do need to address the point that reflexology helps the whole body!

What can I do to help Planter Fasciitis?
Try my instagram reel! My reels for all sorts of illnesses and conditions have helped 1000’s of my followers and I’m so pleased to see the comments and hear how my short tutorials help you guys. I post around one a week for so many different ailments.
Admittedly this is not a typical self help tutorial however because it can affect everyone in a different places on the foot like the heel or the middle of the foot this is a good way to help all needs. This will help break down the fascia. Do not press too hard as this can inflame it even more. So go gently with yourself - also I’m not sure a Thera gun is the right thing for this!
