There are two main aims of physiotherapy for plantar fasciitis. The first is to control inflammation; the second is to stretch the muscles and connective tissue in the calf. Symptoms of plantar fasciitis are often brought on or made worse by tightening of these tissues. These exercises should take about 15 minutes a day. Once your symptoms are controlled it's worth getting into the habit of doing them once or twice a day to reduce the risk of symptoms coming back.
Hip injuries are common in all age groups. The most common cause of chronic (long-standing) hip pain in adults is osteoarthritis. Because the hip is such a complex joint, hip pain can be caused by many different things including: muscular injuries; ligament injuries; bursa injuries; cartilage tears; bone problems; fractures; reduced blood flow to the hip joint; or infection.
