Big kudos to Dr. Lin. I am a high level pro pickleball player who has had nagging heel pain on and off. DPTs I’ve consulted never provided a regimen this thorough to deal with heel pain, or developing plantar fasciitis. It works phenomenally! I do this at night before bed and in the morning when I wake up, and as soon as possible after training sessions. The result is no to minimal pain. I went from hobbling to absolute no pain after one treatment. Thx for keeping me in the game!
@@ChrisForestDweller Feels so much better. My routine is , before bed, when I wake up, before I train or play, between tournament matches, after I train or play. If I feel I need extra I do an abbreviated session. I try to spend about 3 mins per area or 30 strokes each area.
I have terrible plantar fasciitis. I took the steroid shot a year ago. Most painful shot I’ve ever taken by the way! The pain went away after about a week. However, after a little over a year, it flared up again! It was worse than before with the morning heel pain. I didn’t want to do the shots anymore because people cautioned me it would eventually weaken the plantar fascia. I tried everything and bought all sorts of gimmicks including sleeping with a splint. Nothing helped. Then I came across this video and wow!! I do the massage gun therapy Dr. Lin recommended and it has helped tremendously! Highly recommend this techniques for all that’s suffering with plantar fasciitis. Thank you so much doctor!
I’m a nursing student and this is my first time trying it after a long day of clinical. Felt a little relief and heaviness on my heels. Definitely going to do this every night before bedtime hoping it’ll heal my PF. Thank you😭
I'm so happy I found this video. It is easy to follow and Dr. Lin explains why each step is so important and what effect the procedure does to help with plantar fasciitis. I definitely have noticed a huge reduction in my discomfort. I do also wear a night splint so my foot is in a fixed position while sleeping not allowing it to undo the improvement I received from these exercises.
This gave me such relief!!! I never ventured into using the various attachments but I really appreciated following this treatment in real time. I can finally walk with way less pain in the morning!
When I used the massage gun I was in so much pain I couldn’t walk, it made it so sore and tender. Maybe I had it to high or did it to much. I have plantar fasciitis 😢. Considering surgery
I use the bullet head on my heel and the pain is probably a nine out of 10 for the first minute but eventually after a few minutes the pain is gone. Thanks.
Surgery. Does it really take surgery to cure it? How are you now? I have had it 3 months now and it's been a nightmare! Tried everything but no joy. Thanks in advance
Thanks Dr for a great video. Would it also e helpful to 1) massage the forefoot and 2) after the therapy you demonstrated to the use either 1: an ice foot massage roller OR 2: apply an ice pack or an ice massage to the affected area to help reduce inflammation and provide pain relief? 🤓
Hi. Mri of foot and ankle just showed Edema in plantar fascia and fascia changes … ankle showed reactive marrow edema TIP lateral malleolus. Hurts to have sock on, sneakers loosely on… and radiates up my tibia fibia calf through knee to femur and podiatrist is letting this go… any idea what I’m dealing with? My Entire right leg hurts and throwing my gait off. Thank you!
at first I thought maybe this is going to damage everything because it's the exact opposite of what all the other videos are saying... but there is less heel pain after a few minutes. Let's see what happens tomorrow. Thank you :)
@@GriffinLisuk pretty much better actually. I was transitioning to barefoot walking and running a few days earlier (probably too quick a transition), but after this and then 2 days of slow and mindful walking with barefoot shoes (don’t land hard on the heel but land softly and slowly) - means more steps, and a lot more work for the thighs to lift up the shins and only let the feet come down softly, and a long stretching session for the legs and calves, the pain is Gone for now. Maybe I’m speaking too soon, but I’ll keep up the slow mindful walking and stretching.
I have been reading a lot, and it seems there are a few things we should do to have healing in 6-18 months. 1. Always wear supportive shoes or inserts. Never walk on hard surfaces with bare feet. 2. Do plantar fasciitis specific stretches. One is where you cross your leg over your knee and manually flex your foot and push your toes towards your shin. 3. Roll feet on frozen water bottles. 4. Wear pf splints at night. 5 Do massages like he shows here. 6 strengthen calf muscles every day. From what I read religiously doing these things can make it go away in 1/2 to 1 1/2 years.
@@akbasak29 ironically, going the other way has helped me more: toe spreaders, barefoot wide box shoes, compression socks. All the inserts did was make it feel better on my feet. But worse the next morning
Yea I've noticed inserts in my shoes can be incredibly painful and you never get used to them either. Have read many places online where people agree for the most part that theyre too painful. Rule of thumb if it hurts dont do it@@Catalonia
Hi! I have a nerve damage (or what I think is nerve damage) left side of stomach(just next to bellybutton)and going up to the lowest left rib. It's been almost a year now. I can't run or do any serious exercise, because I get this stabbing pain in that area, and it goes away in two weeks when I don't do anything. Fortunately I can walk as much as I want. How can I get this fixed? It happened when I was doing some weird stretching on my back and legs facing the wall in front of me. And I went to the shower and I felt pain on the lower rib when moving around. I rested for a week, pain gone, and then I had to go to a endurance test(running on a treadmill) and I gave it my all, no pain after it or anything. But the next day and like 4 days after it my whole stomach area was numb and painful. So that's how it started last year. So the pain started on the rib, but I feel it more on the stomach most of the time. But when I exercise or lift something heavy, the nerve pain is felt on the lower ribs too. Thank you! Also it starts to hurt when I do any kind of stretching to it as well. Then I have to not do anything for 2 weeks, and the pain goes away. Sucks as well, I'm 21 and I love sports and training hard haha My doctor recommended me to take ibuprofen 3 times a day for 1 week. And she sent me to a physio therapist, where I haven't gone yet. Havent done the ibuprofen stuff as well, because I don't know if I should trust her.
I would NOT be able to massage gun the tender part of my foot, its agonising, I tried it once by mistake, my god I nearly smashed the gun, its a shame you don't bother to reply or help ANY of the people commenting though and clearly struggling with PF

I just had two plantar fasciitis surgery one on each foot. Still having heel pain on my right one. I have just started to use this exercise. Any tips?

How often should you do this?
How often should I do this? I noticed a difference. I'm usually sore for a few days afterward.
Great video and enjoyed the funny short clip of Danny Devito saying 'Blasting it!" 😂

For how long each exercise?
I usually spend 2-3 mins for each muscle group
I usually spend 2-3 mins on each muscle group.

@@zephyrkhambatta good to know this works! I’ll try it out! Thank you!

wow no kidding this actually worked! thanks so much
Does this just reduce pain in the morning or does reducing the pain contribute to healing it? Ive had PF for years now

Any update?
Works great!

Have you got it checked foor a herniation?
What's wrong with cross your legs?
Can i use electrical pulsating tens massager in pain region ?
I used for ankle sprain, also placed It in heel and plantar, now having Facitis 😅 and I dont know how to cure it
good
Hello Doctor, don’t you think by using a massage gun it causes to strike the tissue of the sole of the foot and have worse consequences?
I would NOT be able to massage gun the tender part of my foot, its agonising, I tried it once by mistake, my god I nearly smashed the gun, its a shame you don't bother to reply or help ANY of the people commenting though and clearly struggling with PF
i did this and my plantar become itchy af. is that normal?
Yes, because it's bringing blood onto the area
This is the absolute worst thing to have. I feel like im 70
