So there's a muscle that runs parallel to the plantar fascia.
You can strengthen it by doing that washcloth drill.
You can strengthen it by doing calf raises.
So the function of the foot can improve.
The strength of the foot can improve.

When you see, a lot of women have bilateral heel pain, so it would be on both sides.
Yes.
If you have symptoms on both sides, you have to look up the chain.
You have to look at the pelvis.
You have to look at what the hips are doing.
Because there's aberrant loads going through both feet.
And a lot of that is being driven from up the chain.
So, you know, when I see my patients come in, I always say to them, I wish it was just a foot problem, but it never is.
It's a whole body.
