"We meet several folks a day who experience these symptoms. My response reflects what you teach in the book, and that is to do as much non-interventional treatment as you can, as soon as you can, because you never know for sure what will be the healing trigger appropriate for you. Sometimes it just takes a 'full frontal assault' of everything you can bring to bear on it. You have provided for us the best answer for our many suffering customers.

Customer Reviews

One of the two best sources for heel relief
Well this is a great resource for one of the most vexing running injuries I have ever had. The information contained here will definatly help put anyone on the road,(the long road) to recovery. I know many non-runners who work on their feet, teachers, nurses even coaches and non-atheletes who would beneifet from this text, in its entireity.
I also recommend more the book, "The 5 Mintue Plantar Fasciitis Cure", which is more to the salient point of the singular componet of relief.
Please note WHATEVER you do or try you MUST BE VIGILANT in your approach, this injury requies long term rehab, 6 months to life would be about right.

Injury Afoot helps heal
After pulling the connective tissue on my heel while trying to recover from plantar fasciitis, I ordered "Injury Afoot". The book, written by a fasciitis sufferer, helped me understand my problem, what I need to do and why. I showed the book to my podiatrist, who approved of the advice given. He does not have the time to devote during a short appointment, so the book filled in the blanks. I am now on my way to healing, thanks to this book.

Nothing new...for me
If you have recently been diagnosed or think you have PF, then this is an excellent resource that consolidates a ton of the information, guidance and reality of this vexing problem. I have been dealing with PF for over a year now and have gone through PT, doctors and podiatrists to aid in my recovery - thus, none of the information in this book was new to me. I have spent many hours researching PF prior to seeking medical advice.

I wished the book contained more information about products the author recommends for (at least some of) the 30 points of relief. I can appreciate that listing products dates a publication but at least it gives you a starting point of self-help remedies when you're 'new' the heel and PF problems.

I deducted one star because I think it's over-priced. The book is a quick read and good reference though.
