Episode 105 Plantar Fasciitis Pain Before Princess Half Marathon runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn how to get rid of plantar fasciitis pain before race day, like Princess Half Marathon Weekend.

Learn about managing plantar fasciitis before a race with pain management (ice, heat, Epsom salt baths, massage) and the importance of distinguishing between short-term (inflammation) and long-term (scar tissue) treatments.  As a reminder, while massage helps short-term pain, long-term prevention requires strengthening exercises, the focus should be on preventative strength training in the off-season and immediate pain relief when you’re training for a race or getting close to race day.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
