Plantar Fasciitis

The foot and ankle are 2 frequently injured areas in athletes, with sprains and strains being the most common injury types. Rest and controlled exercise are both crucial to recovery, but integrating deep tissue laser therapy can help facilitate the rehabilitation process by hastening healing, effectively managing pain and inflammation, and improving range of motion.

In this webinar, Mark Callanen, PT, DPT, OCS, will discuss how deep tissue laser therapy can help with several common foot and ankle complaints, including plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. General laser therapy principles related to sprains and strains, including treatment tips for achieving optimal outcomes, will also be discussed.

Key Talking Points:

• Using laser therapy to manage swelling after sprains/strains
• Treatment recommendations for plantar fasciitis
• Treatment recommendations for Achilles tendinopathy
