Plantar
fasciitis symptoms often present themselves as a result of the repetitive
motions required in tennis, as well as the unavoidable quick stops and starts
when on the court. It manifests itself as pain in the bottom of the foot, anywhere
from the heel to the toes. Because of the pounding motion all too common during
a match, the foot can quickly become inflamed, leading to pain.
Whether
you are an avid player, or just head out for a friendly match every once and a
while, check out this video from Health Choices First. In it, physiotherapist
Carl Peterson discusses plantar fasciitis and its symptoms: http://www.healthchoicesfirst.com/category/tennis/general-content/tennis-plantar-fasciitis.
Treatment
for plantar fasciitis can include release work to work out the inflammation and
to relieve tension in the foot. Warm up exercises to prep your body that are
specific to tennis can also play a big part in keeping plantar fasciitis
symptoms at bay.
A
physiotherapist can help you find relief through a variety of different
treatment methods, as well as assessing to see if orthotics to help support
your arch would be beneficial.
