Plantar Fasciitis
This session led to significant structural improvement for the client, with more focused work than usual. Within the Rolfing framework, a holistic approach is generally preferred unless addressing specific concerns like the plantar fascia injury in his right foot, which required attention before beginning full-body series work. This condition can be difficult to resolve quickly.
The client showed a weight shift to his left leg, with movement from right to left. There is increased supportive movement in his lower left leg, starting at the foot, where his pronation has decreased. Enhancing weight transfer into the left leg should reduce pressure on the injured right foot. Furthermore, the client's improved balance extends throughout his body, resulting in a more centered head position. There are no mobility restrictions in his feet and ankle joints, which remain highly mobile due to his background as a competitive swimmer.
