Helping Massage Therapists Build a Business after Massage School
A Plantar Fasciitis cure may be a combination of therapies designed to reduce it's symptoms, like inflammation and pain in the planter fascia band on the bottom of the foot at the heel. It is painful, and worse in the morning when you first get up out of bed.
Symptoms
Symptoms often include heel pain, especially on the inner side of the heel. The pain is usually worse in the morning as you are getting out of bed and subsides throughout the day.
Running, walking or being on your feet all day will make it worse.
Rest and specific stretching exercises help the healing process.
Treatment Options
Always consult with your doctor for treatment options, however he/she will probably recommend one or more of the following:
In some cases, depending on the severity of the issue, your doctor may actually put your foot in a cast for a few weeks to encourage the healing.
In rare cases, surgery must be performed in order to correct the inflammation and restricted tissue.
What causes this inflammation?
Many things can cause the inflammation, like:
Because the plantar fascia supports the bones of the foot, it is common for it to become inflamed.
Massage
Foot massage helps to increase circulation to the heel, thereby increasing the oxygen and nutrient flow to the heel and promoting the healing process.
The therapist will most likely work on the lower leg muscles (which are responsible for flexion) as well as perform stripping and deep transverse friction movements on the foot.
He/She will also do stretching and circular, compression motions with thumbs in order to loosen the tissue. Some of the compressions may be painful, but will usually provide relief.
This DVD, Clinical Trigger Point Therapy Protocol For Lower Leg & Foot Pain, teaches how to massage trigger points with foot massage to reduce pain associated with this disorder, as well as cautions to use when adding pressure to the heel and surrounding area.

About Me
A few things about me and the creation of Massage Education Guide....
After 20 years of practicing massage, I decided to create an online resource for those who want to learn about what to do after massage school....how to build a business from scratch, how to create a website that works for your business, how to create social media posts to engage clients, how to create Facebook Ads, effective SEO practices, and so much more.
I have spent thousands of dollars on advertising my business in newspapers, only to get a few clients, that may or may not return and become a regular customer, and it almost drained me financially.
Finding a way to build my business online for free became my only goal, and I spent many hours studying how folks grow a business with little-to-no money through social media.
Now, because of all I went through to grow my business, I teach the benefits of building an online space, easy SEO and social media tips, and how sales funnels are now the way to make an additional online income, and make life so much better!
What's my passion? Massage therapy always and forever is my love, but helping people learn how to grow an online business is a very close second!
So, let's build your business, your dream, and grow together!
