Why two modalites?

SCAR TISSUE an athlete's curse. You see scar tissue has no elasticity and becomes stiff and painful when stretched. That is why Health Flex has treated professional athletes as well as super star collegiate athletes with this very same protocol.

The plantar, which literally means "bottom of the foot", is supported by a shock absorber called the fascia. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of this connective tissue. Generally, plantar fasciitis affects athletes and people over 40 years of age. The stabbing pain, which gradually gets better throughout the day as the fascia stretches out, will affect your ability to work and be active. Most people will compensate for this by distributing their weight elsewhere on the foot which can put your knees, hips and back at risk.

Plantar fasciitis is considered a self-limiting condition, which means you can control the pain and the progression of the condition by making some simple changes to your lifestyle. For example, improper shoes such as high heels and training too hard too suddenly can put excessive strain on the plantar fascia. However, sometimes plantar fasciitis is related to other conditions like faulty foot mechanics such as being flat footed or having a high arch which affects the way you walk and run.Plantar fasciitis is caused by excessive wear and tear on the fascia, which means the condition is a repetitive strain injury (RSI). Every time your foot strikes the ground your plantar fascia is stretched, when your heel lifts off the ground your plantar fascia experiences tension. Any extra tension coming from excessive training can result in overstretching, inflammation and/or micro-tearing of the fascia at your heel, the weakest point.

Other related conditions include arthritis, inflammation in the tendons in the bottom of your foot, heel spurs, and diabetes. There are higher occurrences of plantar fasciitis in those who have diabetes.

Treatments for plantar fasciitis are aimed at reducing inflammation, pain, increasing the fascia's range of motion, and speeding recovery time. A speedy and effective recovery should be your highest priority, not only so you can return to a high level of performance, but also because prolonged injuries can lead to scar tissue and a higher risk of re-injury.

At the onset of plantar fasciitis immediate measures should be taken in order to avoid serious damage. Ignoring the symptoms, thinking they will go away naturally, and continuing with activities that cause foot pain will certainly lead to more serious problems in the future. In order to avoid serious plantar injuries try to maintain a strict regimen of cold compression after walking or running.

Extremities of the body, like the foot, do not receive much blood flow naturallyand when you stop moving your foot because it hurts, you are not creating the natural blood flow it usually receives. With the use of Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy^™ you can increase your body's blood supply to the plantar fascia.

In addition, the fresh blood flow whisks away dead cells and toxins (including lactic acid, commonly found in trigger points) that have built up from the injury leaving the area clean and better prepared for healing. Our Health Flex BFST wrap provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects.

Keeping your planter fascia and foot as healthy and strong as possible throughout the healing process will allow you to get back to your regular activities faster. The Plantar/Spur Inferno Wrap^®, available exclusively from Health Flex provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief and healing with no side effects.

The benefits of BFST^® do not end once your foot pain stops! Even when your plantar fascia has healed, your activities can put it at risk of an overuse injury, tightness, or another tear. Wearing your wrap before activity is an easy way to warm up the tissues and prepare them for use. Then, end your day with another treatment to prevent tightness from setting in overnight. This incredible healing tool will be the ticket to healthy feet for years to come!

We offer a Bill me later feature for all wraps.
