Most people with plantar fasciitis experience pain when taking their first steps after being still for a long time, such as first thing in the morning, or after sitting for extended periods.
The pain and stiffness tends to lessen after a few steps.
The pain tends to be the most intense when climbing stairs after standing for a long time.
Some people describe the pain as a sharp pain in the heel, while others describe it as a burning pain or an ache extending outward from the heel.

The people most likely to get plantar fasciitis are those who:
* are on their feet a lot (athletes, soldiers, store clerks)
* have high arches
* have excessive pronation (the feet roll inward when you walk)
* stand or run on hard surfaces for long periods of time (triathletes, chefs, store clerks)
* are overweight
* wear shoes that do not fit well or are worn out
* have tight Achilles tendons or calf muscles (the most common cause)

A few random times during the month, do two 10-minute workouts. Shaking up your workout schedule will shake up the routine.
For your second workout of the day, pick something easier than your regular workout but fun.

Plantar fasciitis is not caused by heel spurs. A heel spur is a small bone growth on the calcaneus (heel).
Only one out of every 10 people will ever have a heel spur, and only one out of 20 of those people will feel heel pain because of it.
Plantar fasciitis has many causes, but the most common–tightness in the calf muscles–can be treated by neuromuscular massage.

Lack of sleep has been linked to many disease processes.
The most common cause of sleeplessness is a lack of a sleep-healthy routine.
Set a time that you want to be asleep. An hour before your sleep time, turn of all electronics.
Getting rid of the LED lights and stimulus will help you wind down.
Read a good book. Take a warm bath. Be alone with your thoughts.

If you experience gut troubles, think about the following 4 foods that have a positive probiotic effect:
yogurt
kombucha tea
kimchi (spicy Korean cabbage)
kefir (a tart milk drink)
Rather than eating whatever is handy when you get hungry, take 2 minutes in the morning before you get dressed and plan what and where you will eat all day.

If your kids spend hours each day texting their friends, they may complain of pain in their hands or thumbs.
This is caused from unnatural motion when using the thumbs to text, and tightening of the muscles in the hands to hold the phone.
Neuromuscular massage can relieve the pain in their thumbs and hands.
