We often treat patients who wake up in the morning and find their first few steps extremely painful
Many of them have already Googled their symptoms or consulted a doctor and been told they have plantar fasciitis. They may have tried injections, anti-inflammatories, or at-home remedies like YouTube stretching videos but nothing has given them the long-lasting relief they’re looking for.
It happens when the thick band of tissue called the plantar fascia, which supports your arch and absorbs shock as you walk, becomes irritated or inflamed. This often occurs from repeated stress or strain, such as standing for long hours, running, or wearing unsupportive shoes.
Quite often, the root cause is tight calves. When your calf muscles tighten, it changes the angle at which your foot lands as you walk. This creates tension on the bottom of your foot.
What are the symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis?
The pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis is characterized by sharp and intense stabbing sensations often felt first thing in the morning or after sitting for extended periods. As you move around, the discomfort may decrease, but it can return after prolonged standing, walking, or intense exercise. Some describe the sensation as a persistent ache while others describe a burning sensation. The symptoms are typically worse after activity rather than during it.
Unsurprisingly, this condition can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. Everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even standing for short periods can become painful or challenging. For those who enjoy running, hiking, or playing sports, plantar fasciitis can force you to reduce or stop these activities altogether. Work and daily responsibilities may also be affected, particularly for individuals who spend long hours on their feet, such as healthcare workers, retail employees, or teachers.
Emotionally, the constant discomfort can lead to frustration, anxiety, or even depression. Simple tasks become daunting, and the pain can feel unrelenting. However, with proper treatment, like what’s provided at Spacibo Therapeutic Massage, you can resume the activities you have had to miss out on.

What Is Our Approach To Fixing / Treating Plantar Fasciitis?
At Spacibo Therapeutic Massage, we take a comprehensive, hands-on approach to treating plantar fasciitis. This common foot condition is often linked to tight calf muscles and strain on the plantar fascia, the tissue band running along the bottom of your foot. Our goal is to alleviate this tension, reduce pain, and restore normal function, allowing you to move freely and without discomfort.
We begin by targeting the tight muscles in the calf and foot, using a variety of proven techniques. One method is scraping therapy, which uses specialized tools to gently break up adhesions and encourage blood flow to the affected area. Cupping therapy is another effective approach we employ, creating suction to improve circulation and reduce muscle tightness. For deeper healing, we also use post-electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), which utilizes magnetic fields to enhance microcirculation and promote tissue repair.
These therapies work synergistically to relieve pain, improve flexibility, and speed up recovery. By addressing the root causes of plantar fasciitis – tight muscles and restricted blood flow—we help clients achieve lasting relief rather than just temporary fixes.
After just a few sessions, many of our clients experience significant improvement. They wake up able to take their first steps of the day without wincing in pain. Gradually, they return to walking, running, or simply enjoying everyday activities without limping or avoiding movement.
Our approach doesn’t stop at symptom relief. We provide advice on stretches, footwear, and self-care techniques to prevent the problem from returning. At Spacibo Therapeutic Massage, we are committed to not only treating plantar fasciitis but also empowering our clients to maintain a pain-free, active lifestyle. With our personalized care, you can reclaim the freedom of movement and leave behind the discomfort that has been holding you back.
