This is the perfect way to do a video! One of the very best I've seen. Here's why. 1. You start talking immediately with no ridiculous intro. 2. The lighting is good and the camera is stable on a tri-pod. 3. The sound is good and the mic doesn't pick up breathing sounds and movement sounds. 4. No wasted time on transitions or unnecessary stories. 5. Just good, educational information, communicated in an easy to comprehend manner.
This is not even remotely true. It is a great video and I agree that he is very intelligent, but knowing a lot about one subject does not come distantly close to knowing a lot about many subjects. For example, any orthopedic surgeon has undergone 4 years of very rigorous medical school training, followed by at least 5 years of strenuous residency, so that they not only have learned much more than this about plantar fasciitis, but the rest of issues that can plague the foot, as well as the ankle, the knee, the hip, and on up the body, as well as how to operate on those diseases. It's arrogant to assume that you know the depth of a physician's knowledge or training, when you certainly do not. Everyone presumes that they themselves could be a doctor (and typically have some great explanation as to why they chose not to be one), but the fact is that the vast majority of applicants do not get accepted to medical school. Better to just say that it's a very helpful video by an articulate young man with (probably) a bright future; your ignorance of medical training doesn't need to be displayed in the comments, regardless of some perceived bad experience you've had with a physician (or physicians) in the past.
Doctors have theoretical knowledge. They also have huge amounts of info to filter, and frequently are unaware of this kind of practical down-to--earth (haha) problem solving. I got an MRI! that was such a waste. My doctor is a nice lady, but this is why I see her once every 5 years or so. There is more and better info on youtube.

I am a rehabilitation massage therapist and personally suffering from lots of different injuries on my spine, legs and feet. Doctors in UK NEVER NEVER cared about giving me proper therapy for my injuries, I worked on my body as much as I knew alone. This guy perfectly explains what is all about. Doctors will never give you that much of their time to explain it to you what is going with you and why. Big THANK YOU !
Bro. You covered EXACTLY what’s been bothering me. Anterior pelvic tilt, tight calves, plantar fasciitis. You hit the nail on the head. I’ve been suffering from PF for years and seen almost every video about it. This by far has been the most helpful! I’m going to apply this and try to rid myself once and for all of PF. Thank you so much!

Ihad many Times Burnout from mopping in my Job at Macys!And in 2008 us the Bank Crash was,needed to worke for them,I lastet 2 Years,they exchanged workers every 3 Month!They take Investment Money out automatically from there Paycheck and keep them us they let them go!A Bad Place to work for!
I'm a Nurse and I must say this is the best P.F. explanation I've ever seen. My feet are completely flat and I have severe P.F., arthritis in my toes and at least one heel spur. I've never seen anyone have as difficult time finding a shoe that is comfortable enough to work 8 hrs in. I wear a wide toe box but have to have a thick sole for cushioning. I have webbing between 2nd and 3rd toes. And much pain in 3rd and 4th toes...some sort of neuralgia.
OMG, you seriously need to become a foot MD! growing up,my parents spent A LOT of money for good shoes for my brother and I....the shoe Maker's of today (last 30-40 yrs) make horrible shoes! I haven't been able to get a great pair of shoes with arch support for idk how long! we need better shoe Maker's! I never knew about "Morton's Toe"! I have had that to all my life! I was told it was called "Greek Toe". also, the reference to being a ballet dancer....I was!18yrs! holy cow! your so so so smart!!! seriously need to be an MD! you have a great gift!
A lot of people now, including, I think, the author of this video, advise against arch supports in shoes. Part of the rationale that's usually given is that a strong arch doesn't need support, so your objective should be to strengthen your arches through exercise. But also, as he says here, the foot arch is malleable. It goes from tightening to slightly collapsing as you walk - something arch support would inhibit. Try barefoot shoes - shoes with a flat sole and little or no cushioning, such as Softstars, Lems or Xero Shoes. I wear Softstars and Xero Shoes sandals and I really think it's the only way to start walking properly because it lets you feel how you're foot is landing on the ground and springing off it. When you get it right, walking becomes a great pleasure.
@@timyatcak3292 Why is he a clown? He’s pretty knowledgeable. I already know most of this stuff, but he is certainly very helpful, and one of the few who actually understands the problem with modern footwear.
I searched high and low for the explanations for why I have the condition.... And here I found it. None of the videos by the "professionals" on quick fix helped me understand the condition better than him.... Thanks 👍
I know this video is a few years old, but you just described what happened with my new pair of Hokas and developing plantar fasciitis not more than two weeks afterwards perfectly. I have excessive pronation and hip instability from years of bad posture and habits, and it’s been very painful to try to get out of this. Your videos are so invaluable and I really appreciate this one in particular
I’ve been dealing with PF for about a year now. I’ve seen a doctor twice and all they did was tell me my calves were too tight (which was true), prescribed me some steroids, and gave me over the counter orthopedics. This is by far the best explanation I’ve seen so far. Thanks!!!
I am super duper late watching this video, but thank you. Wow, i have learned so much. I called me mother who has been a nurse for over 30 years and reiterated some of the information to her. She was blown away! nicely done. It seems like you covered everything that i have been experiencing. you are a light!
This young kid is smarter then the Drs.. Great job.. I fully understand everything you said to correct my tight hip flexors caused from sitting all day as a Tractor Trailer driver. Well done sir. Well done..
@@timyatcak3292 Where in this video did he talk about snake oil treatments? 😂🤡. Dude shut up! You're talking out of your asshole. You aren't helping ANYBODY with the attitude and stupid comments you write. You're just a keyboard jelly asshat mad at this guy that has pure knowledge. You envy him and wish you were as smart.
Euh .. i didnt listen the first words he says cause of his hypnotic eyes..who else felt the same ..he's a doll seriously..then I listened and yes young clever better explanation ever..bravo 👏🏼
Dude, who in the world are you anyway? This is the absolute best explanation of anything in healthcare that I have ever heard in my entire life and I’m an old man. Thank you for that I wish you the very best in your life.
exactly my analogy is, glasses are accustomed to the patients needs and every 1-2 years eyes require an update or a check up and this analogy should be implemented for footwear as here I am about to qualify as a podiatrist and I to believe it is patient perceptions and as a profession we should push for more custom made footwear designed specifically for each foot similar to glasses. each lens has its own unique prescription designed for the eye to work at its optimum. however as podiatrists not a lot of public understand or know what we do or do not see us as fit to do such a thing when actually the stuff we learn as medical professionals we are the most suited and evidenced based regarding the foot and lower limbs.
Wow! A friend of mine is suffering with PF and I was trying to understand exactly what the root cause is so I know better how to help him. The predominant info online is SUPER generic “rest do stretches, take nsaids, see your doctor, maybe have surgery”. Your video is amazing- thank you for a live demonstration and explaining so thoroughly. The world needs more people like you.
I don't know what your experience and training are, but this is one of the best plantar systemic impact videos I've ever seen, explaining how other connected body systems impact PF.
Great demonstration of musculoskeletal mechanics. Now I understand why switching completely to Vibram 5 finger shoes cured my plantar fasciitis gradually over a period of 3 months. I had PF for 10 years, with flare-ups 3 or 4 times a year, controlled each time by stretching. but then the stretching just didn't work any more. that's when I switched (gradually, over a few months, then all the time, which is when the PF cure happened). Withthe Vibram 5 finger shoes the toes are spread, the shoe is flat, the foot muscles are engaged, the calf muscle and soleus are stretched. For 4 years now, I have had no PF flare-ups....a cure!
Chuck Selden ... I’ve had pf for over ten years to and got bad flare up due to stomach surgery which has changed the way I walk, sounds odd I know but my feet and my bottom muscles are really complaining ... I had never heard of these vibram 5 finger shoes but I am researching ... thank you 🙏
As a nurse I didn't even know this was the root cause of this. My husband's suffered with this so long so I can't wait to get him started on this process. He's tried about everything so far with no luck. Thank you so so much for sharing this and making it easy for those not aware of how or what certain medical terms are. It's very easy to follow.
The only person who can tell about the pain is the one who had it and cured. Your explanation totally make sense better than those doctors i visited. Thank you man
When video started honestly I was wondering weather it's worth watching a young kid talk on PF..but this is the best explanation anyone could get . Very clean audio visual..thanks so much for the video. Extremely helpful.
Anyone with some sort of pronation or feet problem, watch this! Having a job all day sitting at a work station, watch this! You're doing the world a real favor. Thank you!
I absolutely love the way you speak I love the tone of your voice and I really appreciate this in-depth description of why I have plantar fasciitis!! Never heard it before, and couldn't be more grateful! I'm having surgery next month and I never ever ever want this to come back It is so so painful!!
This is the BEST video on this subject I have ever seen! I have Morton's toe and never heard of the B6 deficiency! I know I'm deficient in B12 and D3. Thank you! I have suffered with plantar fasciitis for 20 years, in one foot or the other! OMG how informative!- and you are SO young! But SO knowledgeable!! Amazing!!
Bro this person explains better than doctors. I had to watch 10 vids to get the same info. Plus more. Thanks for mention your feet being a little outward is normal and still healthy. I've been trying my feet and pointing them straight forward especially when sitting is very tiresome. Thanks a lot you are helping lives!
I'm 19 and I suffer from this. Thank you so much for this video. I skate everyday with a broken shoe, now I see exactly what caused this crazy pain in my arch and heel. Thank you so much!
After watching a million videos on this, which all contradict one another by the way, this is the BEST, BEST, BEST explanation I have heard of on this. I have been suffering like crazy!
I love your full explanation of the body and foot connection. You've just explained my whole body motion or lack of in which covered everything I've been going through for 6yrs and 7 months of planters fasciitis. Thanks now i just need to find the right exercises.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard the connection between Morton’s toe and B6! I have MT and PF and nerve and muscle pain issues. I actually take P5P but not consistently. I really had no idea there was a connection. But I’m definitely going to do more research. Thank you! Also for all the great info!
Wow! The amount of information given in this video is light years ahead of any other video. Thank you so much. I’m beginning my plantar fasciitis recovery tonight.
Great video bruh, perfect anatomy knowledge. This shows that you don't need to go to uni or any other bs or have a degree to help people and explain their problems. I'm hard into health, anatomy and body movements because I had a lot of issues that I was born with and developed. This video even tough me some valuable stuff I didn't know. Thank you fam and keep doing what you are doing !
Unbelievable!!! Here I am 56 yr old postal worker suffering with sciatica! I am on my feet & do heavy lifting all day. Have suffered w/ PF for 20 years! I had surgery on both feet & have spent thousands$$ on shoes, orthodics, missed work, gone into depression etc. I have always walked on my toes and thought it might be the cause.. And now I apparently have mortens toes and pronation!! I'm not even that surprised that in 20 yrs of drs, I have never heard of or been checked for this.... Have had knee issues, lower back pain & now sciatica.. Thank You more than I can say!!!! 💛✨💛✨💛✨💛✨
Be sure to check out my heel pain help website at: www.pfsurvivalguide.com I hope this video helps! :) heel pain is not fun! Also be sure to share this video with your friends.
I'm in the midst of the worst bout of PF I've ever had, in addition to a healing broken toe. I'm in so much pain, but finding this video has been seminal for me! I didn't know about excessive pronation or how to keep my feet stretched and healthy. I also realize I have Morton's toe, and have been trying EVERYTHING to figure out why I feel so broken-down and awful 90% of the time, when I was a yoga-practicing, slim, healthy-eating and active woman just a few years ago. I've been diagnosed with everything from CFS to fibromyalgia to allergies to leaky gut, but nothing explained my consistent bone and joint pain and problems. YOU should be a healthcare practitioner! You have a knack for explanation, demonstration and information!
You have nailed it mate!! I have listened to so many PF talks/videos and no one has got to the core like you! I am blown away by this!! I have just learnt that I have Morton’s syndrome (2nd toe longest) and that’s what is causing the PF and how to fix it!!! Praise be to God!
Love your enthusiasm with posting these videos regularly, I learn new things every time. Thank you. We noticed that my partner has one morton's toe- just by 1mm or 2mm, but he hasn't got any issues yet other than tight shoulders!
JUST now finding this video…Just now suffering from plantar fasciitis and totally opposite opinions on this when googling it but this young yet wise old owl makes complete sense regarding what I’ve been through! Thank you sooo much and will be looking for your newest ones on this subject 🙏🏻
@potato-dt7se I actually do not remember since my comment was like 4 yrs old. But I can tell you that I decided to invest in OMEGA WALK shoes with arch support. Since then I have not had a problem any more.
Thankyou Will ... I asked my Angel guides to help with finding solutions in my life a few minutes ago and so happens I’ve been having heel pain... I have been watching your solar videos for over a year now and to my surprise you are also doing these videos as well. That’s an affirmation to me!! So grateful!!!💚🙌👏🦋
Wow, this video was so much of a dose of reality for me that I had to pause the video a couple times and just let myself come to terms with it. Great explanations, great look at so many root causes of this condition. Searching around for what was causing a lot of my issues upstairs, brought me to discovering this excessive pronation. Looking at the causes, I never stood a chance. Many life changes coming soon.
Hey pal i read about 5 comments and agree with them all. You are young and you make so much sense and i know you know your stuff. The universe will reward you for your homework.
WOW! So knowledgeable... I've been having an issue with my foot and seen four doctors to date. Great video, to the point, moves along perfectly and so informative. Thank you beautiful man!
OMG....I have gotten to the point that I can't take the pain anymore and I just recently had a podiatrist appointment...which of course leads to more medication...you've explained so much that really helps with what I'm going through ....thank you so much
Oh LAWD.. I have been to podiatrists and been researching for so long.. "go barefoot, wear orthodics, double cushion, do not use supports, rest foot, stretch foot, heat, ice, massage, soak, elevate, these shoes, those shoes, wrap, don't wrap.. but I have tried so many things.. and what works one day is perfect evil the next day. I am sooo tired.. I just wanna RUN LIKE THE WIND once again!
I can run.. but by the end of the run and into the next 2-3 days afterwards.. I cannot even touch the heel of the foot to the floor. It didn't used to be this bad.. going for PT and some electrotherapy thing tomorrow.. Hopefully it will help!
You could try looking into Dr. John Sarno and TMS. Maybe also try some Feldenkrais Technique. Lots of videos about both on UA-cam, including some by a guy called Alfons specifically on Feldenkrais for the feet. No stretching and virtually no risk of making your pain worse, I'd have thought. It's very gentle. Good luck!
I HAVE SEEN 2 PODIATRISTS AND GP'S, I HAVE WATCHED SO MANY VIDEOS ABOUT STRETCHING AND STUFF, YOU HAVE BEEN THE ONLY PERSON TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY FOOT AND WHY, THANK YOU SO MUCH :)
I am 70, I previously was a runner and now a walker. I have had plantar fasciitis for more than 6 years with it recently getting worse over the last few years as I have put on weight. I have bought orthotics (several different types prescribed by podiatrists), podiatrist recommended shoes ...to prevent pronation!, sleep with ice packs on my feet, and perform daily stretching exercises. I am working on weight loss, but also trying to continue to walk and do aquatic activities. This is the first time that someone has explained plantar fasciitis thoroughly. Over the years, I vet had a gut feeling about some of the things discussed, but this is literally the best information I have come across. The toe spreader socks for night time make a lot of sense, so I have ordered those. I plan to change my walking shoes to some of those listed here. I also plan to change my exercise routine based on what I’ve read. Thank you so much for the insight you have provided.
Well spoken. Probably the best articulated and most informative video I've seen on this topic. Very helpful, thanks. I might want to add one remedy that you hadn't touched on which is night splints. Keeping the foot out at a 90 degree angle throughout your sleep time is an additional treatment that can work wonders in replenishing the facia. Great video
I have been a LMT for over 15 years and I have never really understood plantar fasciitis until now after watching your video. Thank you so very much for all the information
At first I was like- “oh please, what do you know, you’re like 10” then you started talking and I was like “OMG, how is he so knowledgeable and articulated, he’s like 10” 😂 . You look so young and I am legitimately impressed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge so well.
Leslie Pomales I started reading your comment and thought you must be a teenage girl, judging by how u feel the need to like, use the word ‘Like.’ Do u always construct sentences how u like, speak?
I suffered from PF for 5 years and my podiatrist wasn't helpful in explaining my condition. I understand more about PF just watching your video. I know what to do now. Thank you so much!
Wow. This explains why I have much more pain and drama in both the plantar fascia and the arch area in the foot with a bunion. Thank you so much for this video.
*DUDE, I HAVE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS AND THIS I HAD A FEELING THEY ALL WERE CONNECTED. YOUR VIDEO IS THE BEST EXPLAINED IN REGARDS TO HIPS & PELVIC. I MUST CORRECT THIS. I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER FOUND THIS OUT, BUT YOU HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD. THANK YOU!!!* I just been thinking my butt was getting big or something.
I am a physical therapist and my biggest struggle is treating this injury. People get their shoe soles adjusted but usually that does not help. I find most of the posture problems mentioned in this video, but it's hard to get rid of the irritation
Wow. Impressive. It's obvious that you have the medical knowledge and experience in this area. You appear so young... The concepts flow without hesitation like you live and breathe this stuff! If you aren't in the medical field you certainly have a promising career in the medical sciences dealing with body geometry or motion. Like others have said, I've watched many videos and read many articles, but none even come close to this concise and thorough explanation. Thank you for your time.
Great video! I think my PF started when I bought this pair of shoes which didn't have enough support on the instep therefore causing the pronation. I was only able to figure it out by watching your video. Goodbye shoes. Thanks so much.
I was just ready to click for another channel but I’d stop and listened all the way. Excellent detailed explanation on what I am suffering in my foot. Right on!!. Because this is so good I subscribed.
This was excellent! Thank you for sharing your expertise with all. I had PF 10 years ago; and I like to keep aware of how to forever prevent another occurrence.
You should teach all orthopedists and foot specialists. From experience of years, they have no idea ... Most of them offer Arcoxia, cortisone injections and sometimes insoles. Thanks to your video I managed to get rid of pain in two days, after six months of suffering! You're an angel!
Thank you so much... I have never seen a video which explains in detail about PF like this. Really it helps me to get rid of PF. Finding the root cause solves 50%of the problem. Now I need to apply this...
I have a bunion that makes my big toe sit on top of my second toe so I will get some of those toe spreaders and see if that helps with my pf. Excellent video ☺ Thankyou 👍 💜
What a great video, so well done, and very informative. I just loved it. I wish I knew about this years ago. I could have saved myself a lot of pain. Thank you so much for posting this. I'm going to see if you have other videos to check out also.
I need to thank you so much! I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for about 8 months now. I work on my feet walking about 10,000 steps every day. That makes it so hard to recover! I watched this video and it immediately bought some Amazon version of the toe stretchers (single toe). I wore it in my shoes and immediately found relief of about 30 percent. The next day 70 percent. Now I'm at about 85 percent better and I have ordered the toe stretchers you have recommended. This is in the span of two weeks! I additionally shared your video with my mom who had been having foot troubles for years. I appreciate your knowledge and thanks again for helping me!
This is the perfect way to do a video! One of the very best I've seen. Here's why.
1. You start talking immediately with no ridiculous intro.
2. The lighting is good and the camera is stable on a tri-pod.
3. The sound is good and the mic doesn't pick up breathing sounds and movement sounds.
4. No wasted time on transitions or unnecessary stories.
5. Just good, educational information, communicated in an easy to comprehend manner.

growing up,my parents spent A LOT of money for good shoes for my brother and I....the shoe Maker's of today (last 30-40 yrs) make horrible shoes! I haven't been able to get a great pair of shoes with arch support for idk how long! we need better shoe Maker's!
I never knew about "Morton's Toe"! I have had that to all my life! I was told it was called "Greek Toe". also, the reference to being a ballet dancer....I was!18yrs! holy cow!
your so so so smart!!! seriously need to be an MD! you have a great gift!
A lot of people now, including, I think, the author of this video, advise against arch supports in shoes. Part of the rationale that's usually given is that a strong arch doesn't need support, so your objective should be to strengthen your arches through exercise. But also, as he says here, the foot arch is malleable. It goes from tightening to slightly collapsing as you walk - something arch support would inhibit.
Try barefoot shoes - shoes with a flat sole and little or no cushioning, such as Softstars, Lems or Xero Shoes. I wear Softstars and Xero Shoes sandals and I really think it's the only way to start walking properly because it lets you feel how you're foot is landing on the ground and springing off it. When you get it right, walking becomes a great pleasure.
Try Vio Motion shoes and sandals. They are amazing and really supportive.
this clown couldn't pass the preliminaries and admission requires three years of undergraduate work in an allied field...THis guy would not make it
@@timyatcak3292 Why is he a clown? He’s pretty knowledgeable. I already know most of this stuff, but he is certainly very helpful, and one of the few who actually understands the problem with modern footwear.
I searched high and low for the explanations for why I have the condition.... And here I found it. None of the videos by the "professionals" on quick fix helped me understand the condition better than him.... Thanks 👍
I know this video is a few years old, but you just described what happened with my new pair of Hokas and developing plantar fasciitis not more than two weeks afterwards perfectly. I have excessive pronation and hip instability from years of bad posture and habits, and it’s been very painful to try to get out of this. Your videos are so invaluable and I really appreciate this one in particular
Plantar Fasciitis is inflammatory. Mast cells are inflammatory cells. Misinformation is not helpful to Americans.
I’ve been dealing with PF for about a year now. I’ve seen a doctor twice and all they did was tell me my calves were too tight (which was true), prescribed me some steroids, and gave me over the counter orthopedics. This is by far the best explanation I’ve seen so far. Thanks!!!
Start looking into " Iodine Deficiency ". If you need to
learn more, ask me! It's ALL FREE !!!
I am super duper late watching this video, but thank you. Wow, i have learned so much. I called me mother who has been a nurse for over 30 years and reiterated some of the information to her. She was blown away! nicely done. It seems like you covered everything that i have been experiencing. you are a light!
This young kid is smarter then the Drs.. Great job.. I fully understand everything you said to correct my tight hip flexors caused from sitting all day as a Tractor Trailer driver. Well done sir. Well done..
BUll shit he is..ANother in a long line of quacks with NO education
👍
@@timyatcak3292 You're a true loser of a clown. You must wake up hating your life every single day.
@@rocknrye9273 no I think about the hundreds of patients I helped over the years of ETHICAL medical practice, not snake oil treatments
@@timyatcak3292 Where in this video did he talk about snake oil treatments? 😂🤡. Dude shut up! You're talking out of your asshole. You aren't helping ANYBODY with the attitude and stupid comments you write. You're just a keyboard jelly asshat mad at this guy that has pure knowledge. You envy him and wish you were as smart.
Euh .. i didnt listen the first words he says cause of his hypnotic eyes..who else felt the same ..he's a doll seriously..then I listened and yes young clever better explanation ever..bravo 👏🏼
Dude, who in the world are you anyway? This is the absolute best explanation of anything in healthcare that I have ever heard in my entire life and I’m an old man. Thank you for that I wish you the very best in your life.
I wish shoe manufacturers would learn how to make shoes compatible with foot health.
Informative and well made video.
exactly my analogy is, glasses are accustomed to the patients needs and every 1-2 years eyes require an update or a check up and this analogy should be implemented for footwear as here I am about to qualify as a podiatrist and I to believe it is patient perceptions and as a profession we should push for more custom made footwear designed specifically for each foot similar to glasses. each lens has its own unique prescription designed for the eye to work at its optimum. however as podiatrists not a lot of public understand or know what we do or do not see us as fit to do such a thing when actually the stuff we learn as medical professionals we are the most suited and evidenced based regarding the foot and lower limbs.
that will be the day
Xero shoes are great!
Wow! A friend of mine is suffering with PF and I was trying to understand exactly what the root cause is so I know better how to help him. The predominant info online is SUPER generic “rest do stretches, take nsaids, see your doctor, maybe have surgery”.
Your video is amazing- thank you for a live demonstration and explaining so thoroughly. The world needs more people like you.
I don't know what your experience and training are, but this is one of the best plantar systemic impact videos I've ever seen, explaining how other connected body systems impact PF.
Thanks! And I just read a lot of books. Glad you liked the video :)
.....
You took the words right out of my mouth! Excellent explanation!
what if I have a bunion too!?
+Sharmane Mckinney, I'd like to know that as well.
Great demonstration of musculoskeletal mechanics. Now I understand why switching completely to Vibram 5 finger shoes cured my plantar fasciitis gradually over a period of 3 months. I had PF for 10 years, with flare-ups 3 or 4 times a year, controlled each time by stretching. but then the stretching just didn't work any more. that's when I switched (gradually, over a few months, then all the time, which is when the PF cure happened). Withthe Vibram 5 finger shoes the toes are spread, the shoe is flat, the foot muscles are engaged, the calf muscle and soleus are stretched. For 4 years now, I have had no PF flare-ups....a cure!
Chuck Selden ... I’ve had pf for over ten years to and got bad flare up due to stomach surgery which has changed the way I walk, sounds odd I know but my feet and my bottom muscles are really complaining ... I had never heard of these vibram 5 finger shoes but I am researching ... thank you 🙏
As a nurse I didn't even know this was the root cause of this. My husband's suffered with this so long so I can't wait to get him started on this process. He's tried about everything so far with no luck. Thank you so so much for sharing this and making it easy for those not aware of how or what certain medical terms are. It's very easy to follow.
Worked?

@@kingnole4237 feel better after that? Hope so as you look like an idiot
@@RedPanda_00806 eventually yes
You are a legend. By far far farrrrrrrrrrr best explanation I've seen.
#1 best explanation video on this subject.
Well Done.
The only person who can tell about the pain is the one who had it and cured. Your explanation totally make sense better than those doctors i visited.
Thank you man
When video started honestly I was wondering weather it's worth watching a young kid talk on PF..but this is the best explanation anyone could get . Very clean audio visual..thanks so much for the video. Extremely helpful.
Anyone with some sort of pronation or feet problem, watch this! Having a job all day sitting at a work station, watch this! You're doing the world a real favor. Thank you!
amazing description straight to the point with no advertisement crap. Thank you sir!
I absolutely love the way you speak I love the tone of your voice and I really appreciate this in-depth description of why I have plantar fasciitis!!
Never heard it before, and couldn't be more grateful!
I'm having surgery next month and I never ever ever want this to come back It is so so painful!!
This is the BEST video on this subject I have ever seen! I have Morton's toe and never heard of the B6 deficiency! I know I'm deficient in B12 and D3. Thank you! I have suffered with plantar fasciitis for 20 years, in one foot or the other! OMG how informative!- and you are SO young! But SO knowledgeable!! Amazing!!
My PF started when I started using new shoe inserts to support my arch… this was suppose to help and instead it caused my issue
Best explanation I've seen, really going into details about the root causes, not just the symptoms. Thank you!
dude. excellent, excellent work. thank you so much
This young man is absolutely correct.
Thanks for the help
Bro this person explains better than doctors. I had to watch 10 vids to get the same info. Plus more. Thanks for mention your feet being a little outward is normal and still healthy. I've been trying my feet and pointing them straight forward especially when sitting is very tiresome. Thanks a lot you are helping lives!
I'm 19 and I suffer from this. Thank you so much for this video. I skate everyday with a broken shoe, now I see exactly what caused this crazy pain in my arch and heel. Thank you so much!
After watching a million videos on this, which all contradict one another by the way, this is the BEST, BEST, BEST explanation I have heard of on this. I have been suffering like crazy!
Crikey, I think this video just covered the second year of a chiropodist course.
This young guy has given the best ever expalnation of the cause of Plantar Fasciitis I have viewed on UA-cam. Excellent video.
I love your full explanation of the body and foot connection. You've just explained my whole body motion or lack of in which covered everything I've been going through for 6yrs and 7 months of planters fasciitis. Thanks now i just need to find the right exercises.
Excellent presentation. Camera positioning, no gimmicks, concise information, and no background distracting sounds.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard the connection between Morton’s toe and B6! I have MT and PF and nerve and muscle pain issues. I actually take P5P but not consistently. I really had no idea there was a connection. But I’m definitely going to do more research. Thank you! Also for all the great info!
Wow! The amount of information given in this video is light years ahead of any other video. Thank you so much. I’m beginning my plantar fasciitis recovery tonight.
Great video bruh, perfect anatomy knowledge. This shows that you don't need to go to uni or any other bs or have a degree to help people and explain their problems. I'm hard into health, anatomy and body movements because I had a lot of issues that I was born with and developed. This video even tough me some valuable stuff I didn't know.
Thank you fam and keep doing what you are doing !
Unbelievable!!! Here I am 56 yr old postal worker suffering with sciatica! I am on my feet & do heavy lifting all day. Have suffered w/ PF for 20 years! I had surgery on both feet & have spent thousands$$ on shoes, orthodics, missed work, gone into depression etc. I have always walked on my toes and thought it might be the cause.. And now I apparently have mortens toes and pronation!! I'm not even that surprised that in 20 yrs of drs, I have never heard of or been checked for this.... Have had knee issues, lower back pain & now sciatica.. Thank You more than I can say!!!! 💛✨💛✨💛✨💛✨
Be sure to check out my heel pain help website at: www.pfsurvivalguide.com
I hope this video helps! :) heel pain is not fun! Also be sure to share this video with your friends.
I'm in the midst of the worst bout of PF I've ever had, in addition to a healing broken toe. I'm in so much pain, but finding this video has been seminal for me! I didn't know about excessive pronation or how to keep my feet stretched and healthy. I also realize I have Morton's toe, and have been trying EVERYTHING to figure out why I feel so broken-down and awful 90% of the time, when I was a yoga-practicing, slim, healthy-eating and active woman just a few years ago. I've been diagnosed with everything from CFS to fibromyalgia to allergies to leaky gut, but nothing explained my consistent bone and joint pain and problems. YOU should be a healthcare practitioner! You have a knack for explanation, demonstration and information!
You have nailed it mate!! I have listened to so many PF talks/videos and no one has got to the core like you! I am blown away by this!! I have just learnt that I have Morton’s syndrome (2nd toe longest) and that’s what is causing the PF and how to fix it!!! Praise be to God!
Love your enthusiasm with posting these videos regularly, I learn new things every time. Thank you. We noticed that my partner has one morton's toe- just by 1mm or 2mm, but he hasn't got any issues yet other than tight shoulders!
Thanks Buddy! :)
Thanks man!
wow!!! I have mortons toe and was just diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis!!! I am so glad I saw this!!!
thanks for sharing!!!!
I have Morton’s toe and I have tight shoulders ... I have now got a solution due to this lovely young man x thank you
JUST now finding this video…Just now suffering from plantar fasciitis and totally opposite opinions on this when googling it but this young yet wise old owl makes complete sense regarding what I’ve been through!
Thank you sooo much and will be looking for your newest ones on this subject 🙏🏻
I suffer from heel pain, especially on my left heel. Your video totally makes sense. Thank you!
@potato-dt7se I actually do not remember since my comment was like 4 yrs old. But I can tell you that I decided to invest in OMEGA WALK shoes with arch support. Since then I have not had a problem any more.
Thankyou Will ... I asked my Angel guides to help with finding solutions in my life a few minutes ago and so happens I’ve been having heel pain... I have been watching your solar videos for over a year now and to my surprise you are also doing these videos as well. That’s an affirmation to me!! So grateful!!!💚🙌👏🦋
Wow, this video was so much of a dose of reality for me that I had to pause the video a couple times and just let myself come to terms with it. Great explanations, great look at so many root causes of this condition. Searching around for what was causing a lot of my issues upstairs, brought me to discovering this excessive pronation. Looking at the causes, I never stood a chance. Many life changes coming soon.
Hey pal i read about 5 comments and agree with them all. You are young and you make so much sense and i know you know your stuff. The universe will reward you for your homework.
You have done a great job by explaining the causes of PF very clearly. Thank you very much.
I've had trouble with my feet for a long time. I love these videos and I watch them more than once to see the different exercises. They really work!
WOW! So knowledgeable... I've been having an issue with my foot and seen four doctors to date. Great video, to the point, moves along perfectly and so informative. Thank you beautiful man!
OMG....I have gotten to the point that I can't take the pain anymore and I just recently had a podiatrist appointment...which of course leads to more medication...you've explained so much that really helps with what I'm going through ....thank you so much
Oh LAWD.. I have been to podiatrists and been researching for so long.. "go barefoot, wear orthodics, double cushion, do not use supports, rest foot, stretch foot, heat, ice, massage, soak, elevate, these shoes, those shoes, wrap, don't wrap.. but I have tried so many things.. and what works one day is perfect evil the next day. I am sooo tired.. I just wanna RUN LIKE THE WIND once again!
cattamia i run with PF what's really big deal? LOL i got used to that pain
I can run.. but by the end of the run and into the next 2-3 days afterwards.. I cannot even touch the heel of the foot to the floor. It didn't used to be this bad.. going for PT and some electrotherapy thing tomorrow.. Hopefully it will help!
cattamia you will see...
o and i dont even feel pain in heel anymore lol. i think my nerves died xd
You could try looking into Dr. John Sarno and TMS. Maybe also try some Feldenkrais Technique. Lots of videos about both on UA-cam, including some by a guy called Alfons specifically on Feldenkrais for the feet. No stretching and virtually no risk of making your pain worse, I'd have thought. It's very gentle.
Good luck!
I HAVE SEEN 2 PODIATRISTS AND GP'S, I HAVE WATCHED SO MANY VIDEOS ABOUT STRETCHING AND STUFF, YOU HAVE BEEN THE ONLY PERSON TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY FOOT AND WHY, THANK YOU SO MUCH :)
Love the explanation of pronation and especially the tip of spreading the toes, and the tilt of the hips makes total sense.
I am 70, I previously was a runner and now a walker. I have had plantar fasciitis for more than 6 years with it recently getting worse over the last few years as I have put on weight. I have bought orthotics (several different types prescribed by podiatrists), podiatrist recommended shoes ...to prevent pronation!, sleep with ice packs on my feet, and perform daily stretching exercises. I am working on weight loss, but also trying to continue to walk and do aquatic activities. This is the first time that someone has explained plantar fasciitis thoroughly. Over the years, I vet had a gut feeling about some of the things discussed, but this is literally the best information I have come across. The toe spreader socks for night time make a lot of sense, so I have ordered those. I plan to change my walking shoes to some of those listed here. I also plan to change my exercise routine based on what I’ve read. Thank you so much for the insight you have provided.

Lisa Duran, use coral calcium supplements. Pain will disappear!
This is a tremendous explanation. I wish I could give it 50 thumbs up!
I stopped walking because of the pain and sitting in the wrong position. Thank you so much for the information!🙏
Well spoken. Probably the best articulated and most informative video I've seen on this topic. Very helpful, thanks. I might want to add one remedy that you hadn't touched on which is night splints. Keeping the foot out at a 90 degree angle throughout your sleep time is an additional treatment that can work wonders in replenishing the facia. Great video
I have been a LMT for over 15 years and I have never really understood plantar fasciitis until now after watching your video. Thank you so very much for all the information
At first I was like- “oh please, what do you know, you’re like 10” then you started talking and I was like “OMG, how is he so knowledgeable and articulated, he’s like 10” 😂 . You look so young and I am legitimately impressed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge so well.
Leslie Pomales I started reading your comment and thought you must be a teenage girl, judging by how u feel the need to like, use the word ‘Like.’ Do u always construct sentences how u like, speak?

Well explained. Wish all videos are like this
Your video was the most informative I've seen on You tube regarding the topic.
Thank you for shedding light on so many points.
I suffered from PF for 5 years and my podiatrist wasn't helpful in explaining my condition. I understand more about PF just watching your video. I know what to do now. Thank you so much!
Wow. This explains why I have much more pain and drama in both the plantar fascia and the arch area in the foot with a bunion. Thank you so much for this video.
*DUDE, I HAVE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS AND THIS I HAD A FEELING THEY ALL WERE CONNECTED. YOUR VIDEO IS THE BEST EXPLAINED IN REGARDS TO HIPS & PELVIC. I MUST CORRECT THIS. I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER FOUND THIS OUT, BUT YOU HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD. THANK YOU!!!* I just been thinking my butt was getting big or something.
I am a physical therapist and my biggest struggle is treating this injury. People get their shoe soles adjusted but usually that does not help. I find most of the posture problems mentioned in this video, but it's hard to get rid of the irritation
Fake doctor spotted
Thank you for this video… it was so helpful!!
I loved the video. I'm just recovering from PF and have Morton's toe, the information on your video was extremely helpful.
I've only just found this channel.What a smart and articulate guy!
Wow. Impressive. It's obvious that you have the medical knowledge and experience in this area. You appear so young... The concepts flow without hesitation like you live and breathe this stuff! If you aren't in the medical field you certainly have a promising career in the medical sciences dealing with body geometry or motion. Like others have said, I've watched many videos and read many articles, but none even come close to this concise and thorough explanation. Thank you for your time.
+FOne Guy thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate it :)
Great video!
I think my PF started when I bought this pair of shoes which didn't have enough support on the instep therefore causing the pronation.
I was only able to figure it out by watching your video. Goodbye shoes.
Thanks so much.
Now this is called wisdom.. Thanks a lot for this super informative video 🙏
I was just ready to click for another channel but I’d stop and listened all the way. Excellent detailed explanation on what I am suffering in my foot. Right on!!. Because this is so good I subscribed.
This was excellent! Thank you for sharing your expertise with all. I had PF 10 years ago; and I like to keep aware of how to forever prevent another occurrence.
Seriously one of the best Plantar Fasciitis videos i've seen so far on youtube. Great job.
Best explanation I've ever heard. Thank You!
This is the best video I’ve seen on plantar fasciitis. And I’ve watched heaps.
Best advice and explanation of Plantar Fasciitis !
Glad you think so!!! :)
Thanks!
Best video I've ever seen about this topic. Smarter than my foot doctor
Awesome vid ! Are you a Podiatrist or a student of it ? You're very well informed.
from what he states he is obviously NOT either
He explains solar and electrical systems in the same concise and informative way. Watch them; you’ll learn a lot👍
ive seen feet consultants & podiatrists but none have explained & demonstrated this issue, so clearly like u have. thank u.
Your videos are amazing. Thank you so much for your kindness in posting!
Sure thing! :)
You should teach all orthopedists and foot specialists.
From experience of years, they have no idea ... Most of them offer Arcoxia, cortisone injections and sometimes insoles.
Thanks to your video I managed to get rid of pain in two days, after six months of suffering!
You're an angel!
My foot is killing me right now, and all I can focus on is his eyes.
IKR
Thank you so much... I have never seen a video which explains in detail about PF like this. Really it helps me to get rid of PF. Finding the root cause solves 50%of the problem. Now I need to apply this...
I have a bunion that makes my big toe sit on top of my second toe so I will get some of those toe spreaders and see if that helps with my pf. Excellent video ☺ Thankyou 👍 💜
I've been to 5 doctors in two years. I just learned more in a few minutes. Thank you.
Wow! Great video! I learned so much! I never heard of Mortons Toe before, but apparently I have it! That may explain a lot of my issues!
Congratlations to the so much young 'doctor'. He is a real master on the subject.
What a great video, so well done, and very informative. I just loved it. I wish I knew about this years ago. I could have saved myself a lot of pain. Thank you so much for posting this. I'm going to see if you have other videos to check out also.
I need to thank you so much! I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for about 8 months now. I work on my feet walking about 10,000 steps every day. That makes it so hard to recover! I watched this video and it immediately bought some Amazon version of the toe stretchers (single toe). I wore it in my shoes and immediately found relief of about 30 percent. The next day 70 percent. Now I'm at about 85 percent better and I have ordered the toe stretchers you have recommended. This is in the span of two weeks! I additionally shared your video with my mom who had been having foot troubles for years. I appreciate your knowledge and thanks again for helping me!
