Video Summary
Dr. Brett DeGoyer, a sports medicine specialist, discusses plantar fasciitis, a common issue in both athletes and the general population. The pain is usually felt at the base of the calcaneus and can extend towards the toes. Treatment focuses on the plantar fascia, but it's crucial to consider its connections to other structures like the Achilles and calf muscles. Counter strain is a technique used where pressure is applied to painful spots to reduce pain, typically held for 90 seconds. This method can be applied in both supine and prone positions to help alleviate symptoms effectively.
