@drwendy_physicaltherapy: Plantar fasciitis is I believe partially tied in with your hormone fluctuations of perimenopause, menopause, postpartum. It’s not happen chance that women get raging plantar fasciitis after they give birth when their hormones plummet. It’s not happen chance that 51 is a massive uptick in plantar fasciitis in women. As we change, our habits have to change to support our tissues. Mobility and strength training for the lower leg is a must. AND addressing systemic issues is important for your healing as well. This also includes blood sugar issues, insulin resistance and your thyroid, along with menopause. Supporting our body so it can heal takes some intention. Just resting and hoping it will heal, it’s not going to work. It won’t just go away, you need to make a plan. Seeing a physical therapist to help you make a plan: it’s worth it. Talk to someone about your pain, but they aren’t going to know about the impact of hormones on this. I don’t want your feelings hurt when you find out they don’t know this. Save this and share it with your best friend. #plantarfasciitis
