David Pope and Russell Wright talk about everything to do with feet and ankles. Plantar Fascia and Achilles Tendinopathy are conditions that need good differential diagnosis and specific tailored treatment programs, especially in runners, and in this episode we chat about how you can get the best results with these patients.

We cover:

causes of plantar fasciosis
strengthening of the plantar fascia
what exercises work with plantar fasciosis, and which ones are a waste of time
nerve entrapments that can be involved in plantar fasciosis, and how to identify these
the role of taping and orthotics
achilles tendinopathy
eccentric programs and progressions
keys to successful Achilles rehab
ankle sprain rehab – keeping it functional
