A number of years ago I was surprised to discover that I had developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot. In all honesty, I had, up until that time, not paid much attention to the condition. Well, I had no choice but to pay attention now!
Online research indicated that it could take a year to correct! That was not acceptable.
I set about to learn as much as I could as quickly as possible, by reading current literature, studying with a chiropractor who specialized in the condition and mining information from earlier trainings I had taken. I’m happy to say that I was able to create a recovery plan that allowed me to return to normal within three short months.
Since then I have studied and learned even more and have been able to help countless others rid themselves of this painful condition. I learned that there are many external reasons and physical imbalances that can cause plantar fasciitis and its advanced and more serious cousin, plantar fasciosis. It’s not always a case of tight calf muscles. (It wasn’t for me.)
While sharing my knowledge and experience with other reflexologists over the next few years, I kept being asked about other painful conditions, so I decided to morph the plantar fasciitis class into the current How to Relieve Chronic Foot Pain workshop.
I invite you to join your fellow reflexologists and me for an upcoming workshop to learn this valuable work. Thousands of adults suffer from chronic foot pain due to bunions, hammertoes, gout, plantar fasciosis, peripheral neuropathy, bone spurs, arthritis, metatarsalgia (including Morton’s neuroma), tarsal tunnel syndrome, injuries, surgery or just plain overuse – and YOU can help!
* Learn a reflexologist’s approach to 19 conditions that cause chronic pain in the feet.
* Practice a specific hands-on protocol specific to plantar fasciitis/fasciosis and peripheral neuropathy.
* Gain lifetime access to a video of the hands-on protocol.
* Leave with an illustrated manual and templates for client forms.
Added bonus – if you join us in Minneapolis, you can help me celebrate my birthday!
Here’s a link to the details. Thank you in advance for sharing this with your fellow therapists. I sincerely appreciate that and hope to see you in one of these three locations!
Hey Karen,
Would you be offering this course in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer or Vancouver at some time in the Future. Or offer access to some reading materials about this. I am plagued myself with metatarsalgia and my research on that subject have left me quite frustrated. Most doctors offer drugs, prolo or surgery as a solution which I don’t agree with. Chiro is at a loss. Acupuncture and specialized massage techniques are the only method of treatment which provided me some relief though only temporary and not definite. I’m on my 8 months of it.
Please let me know
Jude
Jude – I’m so sorry to hear that you have had foot pain for 8 months! Ugh! I would love to teach in any of those places. Red Deer would be new, but I have taught in all of the others over the years. I doubt that it would be this year though; my year is pretty committed. I generally schedule when invited by a provincial chapter of RAC; they help coordinate the event for me.
As far as reading materials, you might learn some useful things from Geraldine Villeneuve’s book ‘Put Your Best Foot Forward’. I review it on my website and provide a link to purchase it from her. http://academyofancientreflexology.com/recommendations/
