Plantar Fascitis
What is Plantar Fascitis?
(pronounced plan-tar fash-ee-eye-tis) is a common
cause of heel and foot-pain in adults and may exhibit heel pain that is usually most severe first thing in the morning. The fascia is not very flexible and the repetitive stretching from impact can result in small tears to the fascia. Pain continues due to the chronic inflammation of the torn fascia.
Typical causes may include:
- Overstretching a tight plantar fascia ligament or general overuse causing micro tears to the fascia at its calcaneal (heel bone) origin;
- Flat feet;
- High arches;
- Excessive pronation (inward tilt of the foot angle);
- Obesity or sudden weight gain;
- Tight Achilles tendons;
- Sudden increase in activity with intensity, time, or type;
- Wearing shoes with poor cushioning;
- Change in running or walking surface;
- Occupation with prolonged standing / weight bearing;

It is specifically designed to help relieve the stress and foot pain associated with the rigid jarring feet experience each day.

the feet you will be able to apply pressure to all the points and stimulate the entire body. Whether you are a believer in Reflexology or not,
you will enjoy the relaxation of the Foot Log, not to mention the tingling feeling you feel after your session with the Foot Log is over. And hey, if it feels good - why not! A General Maintenance Manual is included with each
