How Reflexology Can Help Clients Who Have Plantar Fasciitis. 👣

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It happens when the plantar fascia (the band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot from your heel to your toes), becomes irritated, inflamed or has tears.

The common causes for plantar fasciitis include:

😖 Standing or walking for long periods
😖 Overuse from running or exercise
😖 Wearing shoes with poor support
😖 Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendons
😖 Flat feet or very high arches
😖 Carrying extra body weight

Many people who suffer from plantar fasciitis notice the pain is worst with their first few steps in the morning or after sitting for a while.

Why?

Imagine getting a cut on the web between your thumb and index finger.

It hurts!!

As the cut begins to heal, it forms a scab. At that point, imagine quickly stretching your index and thumb apart so the scab opens.

It hurts!!

While moving, there is flexibility in the foot which gives space for the fascia to heal. When someone sleeps for 6-8 hours, things become stiff and when they jump out of bed, like a kangaroo, it can cause the healing to pop open again.

Stretching and slow starts when getting out of bed to get things flexible again are highly recommended.

How can reflexology help?

Many clients find it helps by:

✔️ Encouraging deep relaxation, which can reduce muscle tension
✔️ Promoting a sense of overall wellbeing
✔️ Helping ease stress, which may contribute to muscle tightness
✔️ Supporting comfort in the feet and lower legs as part of a broader self-care routine

A reflexology session is also a wonderful opportunity to give your hardworking feet some much-needed care and attention.

If you're living with persistent heel pain, it's important to get a proper assessment from a healthcare professional to identify the cause. Reflexology can then be used alongside your treatment plan to support relaxation and your overall wellbeing.

For Reflexology Therapists

For clients who report plantar fasciitis on their health records, I work on:

- sciatic nerve reflexes to help relieve tension coming from the calf muscles.
- pelvic reflexes
- frequent plantar and dorsal stretches.
- arm/leg reflexes
- spine reflexes

It is not just on feet, reflexology csn be done on hands and the face.

Many of us have never heard the word homeostasis, yet our bodies work hard to maintain it every single day.

Homeostasis is the body's ability to keep its internal environment stable, even when the world around us is constantly changing. Whether it's regulating body temperature, balancing fluid levels, managing energy, supporting sleep-wake cycles, or responding to stress, your body is continuously making small adjustments to keep everything functioning within a healthy range.

Think of it as your body's internal balancing act.

When we're well-rested, physically active, adequately nourished, and managing stress effectively, these regulatory systems tend to work more efficiently. However, prolonged stress, poor sleep, illness, emotional strain, and the demands of modern life can place extra pressure on the body's ability to maintain balance.

This is where reflexology may play a supportive role.

Reflexology is a complementary therapy that encourages relaxation and supports nervous system regulation. When the body moves away from a prolonged "fight or flight" response and into a more restorative state, it may be better able to carry out the many processes involved in maintaining internal balance.

While reflexology doesn't directly control homeostasis, it can help create favourable conditions for the body's natural self-regulatory mechanisms to function effectively. This may support healthy sleep patterns, stress adaptation, emotional wellbeing, energy balance, and overall resilience.

At its heart, homeostasis is about balance.

And sometimes, supporting wellbeing isn't about forcing the body to do more. It's about giving it the opportunity to do what it was designed to do all along.
