A Functional Approach to Chronic Plantar Fasciosis

Time or duration of symptoms is one of the biggest determinants in gauging responsiveness to treatment for musculoskeletal injuries, which can include chronic plantar fascial stress. Join Functional Podiatrist Dr Emily Splichal as she explores the unique tissue changes that occur in chronic tissue leading to disorganization and neo-vascularization at the site of injury. Learn how treatment options need to vary based on acute vs chronic presentation as well as the latest research on a functional approach to plantar fasciosis.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define the difference between acute and chronic soft tissue injury.
  • Describe the different phases of tissue repair cycle.
  • Explain fibrinolysis and different techniques to support this process.
  • Describe the role of corrective exercise in chronic tissue injury and best time to incorporate these techniques.
