Hey Everyone,
Today I got diagnosed with plantar fasciitis on my right heel.
I do quite a bit of Fencing and was hoping to go to State and National level competition for it this year, unfortunately Fencing (Especially Sabre) is very heavy on your footwork and your heel so this could potentially cause a problem for me.
I was wondering what experiences anyone has with it here and if they have any recommendations?
I have some basic calf and foot stretches that I have to do 3-4 times a day.
But I was wondering if anyone would be able to recommend any good footwear? I have quite flat feet if that helps in any way (I also have a gel pad)
Was also wondering if it would be worth Ultra Sounding my foot and calf to loosen it up? (I happen to own an ultra sound)
Planning on training with the injury (Not competition, just light footwork and lessons) so I don't lose my technique during my time off.
