    Just wondering how you found them? Were they expensive? Did they solve the issue?

    Thanks.

    Stay away from these people, they just want you to pay for expensive shoes and insoles, go to a good Physio instead and get measured for orthotics

    Go to a physio instead, or employ the cleansing flames. ��

    A Physio or Physical Therapist is who you are looking for. meanwhile Google treatment for it. You will sort it yourself.

    I wear orthotics but still got Plantar Fasciitis.
    Like others have said visit Physio/sports therapist.

    Dry needling & exercise has me 95% healed getting better every week

    10 months since I got it first so patience is also required.

    If the tracking was out on your car, would you put extra rubber on the side that is worn??.

    I have suffered from pf for on and off 14 years but very little in recent years and my honest opinion is that it is caused by tightness in the legs, be it in the calfs or the hamstrings glutes or sometimes all of the above. If you can loosen up those leg muscles then the pf goes away. At least that's what's happened for me. Been running regularly now for over a year and no issue but in the past when I stopped moving and allowed everything to tighten up, the pf came back

    Thanks everyone for all the replies, I’ll go to a Physio.

    I see plenty of insoles and the like, are any of these things any good?

    Just for clarity

    You had very bad PF for 6 weeks.
    It took 3 months for an appointment to have laser treatment.
    You were as good as new the next day..

    Not sure if it's me but I feel something is not adding up..

    I make an appointment with paddy every few months. I had PF for the 6 weeks before appointment. Got PF a week before Dublin Marathon.

    First seen paddy after seeing multiple physios/PTs regarding a hamstring issue. Transpired I had huge build up of scar tissue. 10 mins of laser with paddy, and the relief was amazing. I had giving up all hope of a solution to that point.

    All top gaa lads see him.

    Just wondering how much they charge re a hamstring issue the same as the average physio?

    I spent far in excess of that going to different physios/PTs in trying to address my initial issue with hamstring. A bargain imho. I have sent colleagues to him and they also had positive outcomes after spending fortunes on physios/pts.
