I had it bad about seven years ago after a nine hour Kaimai trip – physio gave up on me after a few months and told me to get orthotic supports from an expert – being a cheapo – I got a set from a boot retailer and provided rapid relief – I bought high arch supports from Rebel Sports for all shoes and boots
Feet steadily improved – lots of walking – joined a gym – lots of work on treadmills – climbing the Mount became easy
Gave up on the Gym when Covid first turned up – lack of exercise for a year or so and the old body started to fade away
Wife is a gym junky and talked me into going back just before the new Covid – a session with a trainer and he ended up putting me on a stair climbing machine for cardio exercise – wanted to see my heart rate go over 120 – its like running up a steep hill – next day I am back to a serious case of plantar fasciitis – feet ripped apart again
Anti-inflammatories and consulting with Dr Jo on YouTube each day and doing her exercise routine – getting better rapidly and back to the Park again to do gentle trap lines
Don’t mess with your feet – PF is painful and difficult to manage – I swear by orthotic supports
