Physioblogger.com is a fantastic blog with all sorts of detailed and concise information on movement, injury rehab and all such things. I actually cannot figure out the name of the person who puts it together but whoever he or she is, they’ve done a great job.

The Physioblogger holds degrees in both sports science and physiotherapy. He or she is the Director of Functional therapy for FASTER, and holds certifications from FASTER and Gary Gray’s Gray Institute.  Look here for a full list of credentials.  His or her methods and writings are clearly highly influenced by Gray’s work and the work from FASTER which is to some degree an offshoot of the Gary Gray’s work.

I found the site because I’ve been battling on and off bouts of plantar fasciits and/or Achilles tendon trouble. (I’ve mentioned this stuff in prior posts but my site was hacked and those posts aren’t available right now.)

I found the site because I’ve been battling on and off bouts of something like plantar fasciits and/or Achilles tendon trouble. (I’ve mentioned this stuff in prior posts but my site was hacked and those posts aren’t available right now.) Physioblogger’s series on plantar fasciitis starts with Understanding the Root Cause of Plantar Fasciitis. It follows with Plantar Fasciitis: Treatment Strategies – Part I and Part II.  The treatment strategies are very comprehensive, covering everything from the toes to the ankles, hips, thoracic spine. Two other articles (Mid-Tarsal Joint Treatment Strategies and 5 Ways to Increase Dorsiflexion) are interesting and may prove helpful in addressing plantar fasciitis.

There’s a lot to look through here and I’m just started. Some of the strategies are beyond my skill set as I’m not a manual therapist.  But, I’m getting a lot of good ideas along the way.
