This workshop takes a look at common pathologies found in the plantar fascia of the foot, focusing specifically on plantar fasciitis/fasciopathy. We will also cover other foot and ankle problems including bunions (hallux valgus), neuromas and achilles tendinopathy. We will explore the anatomy and physiology and current understanding of foot-related pathologies, treatment options, indications, contraindications and considerations for integrative bodywork. We will look specifically at some of the most prevalent bio-mechanical, postural and muscular imbalances as well as movement patterns that correlate and/or contribute to foot-related issues. We examine what exactly the plantar fascia is and how pain in this important connective tissue structure develops as well as what massage therapists can do to address and support their clients in alleviating and managing the symptomology that accompanies foot and ankle pathologies. Integrative Bodywork strategies will be outlined, demonstrated and practiced throughout the workshop to give students as much hands-on experience as possible.
