COURSE OBJECTIVES

This course will enable health care providers to gain a practical knowledge of the possible anatomical & biomechanical factors leading to persistent heel pain and disability.

The course will review a clinically focused approach to the evaluation of persistent plantar heel pain and all the potential differential diagnoses

Based on current studies, the management options reviewed will include

i) Manual therapies … no “plantar fascia stretches” will be taught; as in my humble opinion, plantar fascia can NOT be stretched

ii) Effective muscular and proprioceptive retraining exercises

iii) The role of shoes and insoles

iv) Knowing when there may be a central sensitization component
