Thank You for this video! I have shown this to my husband and as soon as he started the massage - I felt relief (!). I was miserable for 4 months until now. For a few days I am finally pain free first thing in the morning and when I get up after prolonged sitting (at the computer, couch or at the table...). My husband does 2 massages for me - 1 in the morning before I am off to work and another one in the evening. In-between - I roll a plastic bottle with frozen water under my foot for about 15 minutes 3-4 times a day (even at work under my desk). These two therapies combined have been a true lifesavers! Let's hope that I can heal my Plantar Fasciitis completely:). I am wearing orthotics all the time and just have to live with the fact that dress shoes are not for me anymore... I LOVE the fact, how it is explained during the massage what it does. It DOES help with bearing the pain during the massage so much better!

I have flat feet and while I was watching your video, I was trying those techniques on my feet and by the time the video ended, I was so relaxed that I said thank you as though to a masseuse… it was actually for you… so thank you so much!

I got this massage and a reflexology massage 3x in a month after having P.F for 2 years. Well it's been 1 year since the massage and my feet haven't hurt since. It really works❤❤❤❤

[@Solarlube]

Almost six years down the track I am viewing your video. I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I have watched about thirty different approaches to treating PF and have learnt so much. I had it in the right foot for about two years and one morning woke up and it was gone but didn't realise till I started experiencing even worse pain in my left foot. Now I understand how to deal with it and what it is called. Thank you again.

[@ididntknowthat059]

This has been the most satisfying video to watch on Plantar Factitious to actually see you massage the foot properly is great I wish you could do it for me. But I’m in Ireland I was referred to PT and all he did was made me take off my shoes looked at them and told me to buy an arch thing for my shoe. I was so annoyed and disappointed. I had to wait until it got worse and eventually after a few years it went away but I feel it’s starting again. Thanks for uploading this

Love your work! You inspired me throughout my exams and continue to do so. I love that you share your talent/ideas/techniques. Funny thing, it was your name: Rebel, that first drew me to your tutorials. You are a rebel in the sense that you are blazing your own trail and not following the path that everyone else seems to be on. Thank you again.

This is the first video I’ve seen where I’ve gotten a scientific explanation on this it’s so interesting and seeing so many people say how helpful it is at the end of the day really adds light to people who work with muscles or limbs (idk if y’all count as chiropractors)

[@linacostanzo2428]

Angela exactly what I was thinking

[@dimcclung]

Chances are if you’re going to a “massage parlor”, you’re not going to get the level of skill and expertise that the licensed massage therapist and instructor in this video has. Go to a licensed massage establishment or a solo practitioner who has certification in myofascial release or myoskeletal alignment. You might not be aware, but massage parlors tend to be sexually oriented businesses that employ unlicensed workers who may well be victims of sex trafficking.

[@gracel.3739]

[@antonyquant2338]

Yet again a good video to reference my own technique to. I haven't really had many foot massage requests since training, that was until last night! Fortunately I managed to follow most of the same approach as your one here but great explanation of whats actually going on which helps me get a fuller understanding. Thanks!

My husband has plantar fasciitis. Sucks i miss going on walks and hikes but cant with him, he can go to work and rush come to sit. I have been trying to massage him like this and tape his feet with ktape. Remind him to stretch his foot before he touches the ground to prevent microtears. Im going back to giving him bone broth, the first time it really helped and since I stopped his pain came back. I hate plantar fasciitis. Sucks to have constant foot pain and barely do much cuz its painful.

There are a few suggestions to try Test out a natural remedies for plantar foot. Something as simple as ginger root, which can be found at your local grocery shop, is a good anti-inflammatory. Ginger root is in a group of plants known as Cox inhibitors. This means they help inflammation naturally. Another good remedy for pain is Bromelain. Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapples. If you drink the raw juice or eat raw pineapple, you can gt advantage from the natural pain relief of Bromelain. Enzymes are one of the best remedies for pain because they are all natural and are what your body uses to cure inflammation (I discovered these and more ideas on fergs foot formula site )

I use a hexagon dumbbell every day after work ...i place the dumbbell on the floor , then I take a seat and begin to mush my foot up against that merciless metal...the session last from 30 minutes to an hour...The pain is exquisite 🙄 I get out of bed pain free every day

[@claudiaturroortega]

This is a great video, with clear and helpful explanations for both the massage therapist and client. Thank you for sharing it! Approximately, how much time do you spend in each of the movements? Also, even though the focus is on the bottom of the foot, do you also massage the top when you have your fingers there? (In the movement in which you slide your thumb from the calcaneus to the ball of the foot.

[@AC-eb5wj]

Hi Rebel, I'm wondering if you could comment on how you establish strong boundaries between yourself and your clients. I think that many MT's and body workers have had experiences with clients pushing (or even all together) disregarding our boundaries on the table. We work with people and their bodies intimately and I believe that it's important for all therapists to discuss these kinds of issues w/ one another, not only to become better informed, but to bring a level public awareness to the topic.

[@RebelMassage]

This sounds like an amazing blog topic!! Thanks for the input!

[@stevehicks399]

Really good information I have to use a stool when working on feet though. It hurts my low back bending, depending on the angle.

@@sweetvuvuzela4634 my mom has sensitive skin so I kept the pressure moderate while massaging. It was offered her some relief.

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

Bhargesh Ved some people get relief using ice in a plastic bottle it provides comfort and allows you to roll your foot if there is nobody else to help massage. But good luck hope mommy get better

[@BhargeshVed]

[@katsy67]

My husband is really struggling with this. I’m going to try that on him.

[@sweettagada22]

I have no pain, but massaging the heel looks so good

[@toby9999]

Perhaps the massage helps blood flow? After recovering from the initial heel pain, I had startling results by simply soaking my feet a in hot tub 3 times a day. Possibly this enhances blood circulation. After more than a year of arch pain and requiring crutches, I was up and walking within 1 week of hot tubs. Might not work for everyone but could be worth a try. I also found (subsequently) custom orthotics to be helpful when working. My foot is fine now so there is hope for those with PF!

[@RebelMassage]

Just a quick addition to this thought - absolutely... anything you can do to help PF pain is fantastic. I often talk to my clients about the combination of all healing methods to ensure relief; heat, ice, sleep, nutrition, and of course massage. Just as you cannot expect to lose weight and get fit by running once a week and not changing your diet. Any words to promote natural,pain-free living I support!!

Allison, if a client comes in with unclean soles, how do you wash them? A solution with water/alcohol in a spray bottle, and wiping off?

[@Pellican516]

What's equally important is the calf to achilies tendon. The calf is tight loosen it up. The fascia in the calf is pulling on the fascia in the foot. Not just the foot. Calf is equally important no flat shoes

[@angela606]

I've been to so many massage parlors and not one has have ever masaaged me like this. I say heel and they do my legs and everywhere else except for my heels

[@phunkboxx]

Are you going to massage parlor or a spa/clinic? I think you will find targeted effective massage at a spa or clinic while a parlor may just offer relaxation.

This looks incrddible! Thank you! Do you have a tutorial that also incorporates calf massage? I find that my calf muscles are very tight and pull from all the way up there as well. I had PF in my other foot and was able to do PT, he would start from the "top down" and massage from my just below my knee down to my toes. What are your thoughts on that?

I learned years ago in school that you need to first work on the gastrocs, soleus and achilles before going to the bottom of the foot for PF and calcaneal heel spur. Does that sound like it would be a good idea to do that?
