Listen now
Description
Jen had been battling plantar fasciitis after building up her running mileage in 2016. What followed was a prolonged, frustrating process of self-treatment including a foot boot, night splint, ice, foam rolling, stretches and orthotics.  In 2019, Jen finally had her injury assessed and treated by a health professional but symptoms still lingered for another few years. Medical attention called for an x-ray, cortisone injection, strengthening, dry needling and strength training. After a lengthy process, Jen shares the moment your recovery finally turned a corner and the aspects of her rehabilitation that created the positive result.  Jen is back to running 25 miles per week and has completed two half marathons with ironman ambitions.
