We're both die hard baseball fans, but warm weather and fun people make this a great treat for me every year.
I fly in from Oakland, Jim flys in from Denver, and we arrive about 15 minutes apart at the Phoenix airport on a Thursday morning, rent the car, and head straight to the hotel in Tempe.
The Oakland A's play their spring training baseball games about 2 miles away from the hotel, but with the great weather, it feels so good to be able to take the time to walk over there.
But, as you know, if you've got a Plantar Fasciitis injury, that walk is just not a possibility.
And even though the stadiums are pretty small, and if you drive over to them, even the minimal walking around the stadium can be a painful experience with a PF injury.
Here are a couple of things that can help if you're travelling or have to do any amount of walking and still sufferjng through a plantar injury.
- Make sure you have an ankle wrap and heel cups (pads) and wear new to almost comfortable athletic shoes that aren't too narrow so they don't pinch your feet.
- Flex your foot every 30 minutes where you stretch out your arch muscles and fascia.
No problem to do this with your shoes on.
They key is to try to start to train your arches muscles to stay stretched out and start to beak that cycle of arch stretching and contracting every time you take a step.
Especially when you sit down, you really want to flex that foot and keep your arch stretched out.
Try to do this at least once every 30 minutes for about 30-60 seconds on each foot.
If you're still putting up with your painful plantar injury, now is the time to try my highly successful plantar fascia injury self-treatment program.
Your purchase is at zero risk. Try my program for 10 days, and if you don't feel significant pain relief by day 10, then just let me know and I'll immediately refund 100% of your purchase price.
Really looking forward to helping you. Brent
