Here's another case study from Wendy Boast at the Sunu Centre, Oxted.
Plantar Fasciitis (presenting as a severe pain in the heel) affects about 1 in 10 people; it usually occurs in people spending at lot of time on their feet such as sportsmen and women, police officers, postal workers etc. It eventually gets better on its own as long as the patient takes plenty of rest - this is not always possible for busy working people.
This policeman did indeed have policeman's heel (plantar fasciitis) which was giving him a lot of pain, because he walked the beat 6 to 7 hours every day. The condition had been getting worse over 12 months, and he didn't want to take time off work. I gave him four treatments over three weeks which resolved the condition. The treatment included Cranial Laser Release Technique (CLRT) to relieve the pain, as well as cold laser application for the heel itself. His size 15 feet were happy again.
