Plantar Fasciitis: What’s Really Going On?
Plantar fasciitis isn’t just about your feet.
That stabbing heel pain first thing in the morning? It’s a symptom. The real problem is often:
Weak foot and lower leg muscles
Tight calves and plantar fascia
Overload from poor biomechanics or bad footwear
Massage can help—but it’s not the whole solution.
Can Massage Help Plantar Fasciitis?
✅ Yes—Here’s How:
Relieves tension in the plantar fascia, calves, and surrounding tissues
Improves blood flow and healing response
Reduces pain and stiffness so you can move more freely
But remember: massage is a support tool, not a magic fix.
If all you do is rub your feet, the pain will likely return.

Use deep tissue release, dry needling, and cupping for the feet and calves
Assess your biomechanics and movement habits

Real Client Success Stories
Christian’s 3-Year Plantar Fasciitis Fixed
“Plantar fasciitis gone! After countless physios, online help, different shoes and countless other remedies, Mick made my PF go away after I battled with it for 3 years. I can now even go for a run which I really thought was never to be ever again.” – Christian Pearson
Maryanne’s Pain-Free Return to Exercise
“I went to see Mick after suffering with plantar fasciitis and nerve pain in my feet for two years. He treated me and gave me a protocol to prevent it returning. My feet are stronger, and I was able to return to exercise. Also, the barefoot shoes from Mick have been a game changer.” – Maryanne Arceri
Dianne’s Heel Pain Gone
“I have been seeing Ash successfully for the last 4 months to treat my plantar fasciitis. The discomfort I was feeling before has gone.” – Dianne Thomson
Why Your Footwear Matters
One major cause of plantar fasciitis? Overly cushioned shoes that weaken foot muscles over time.
We’ll guide you on better footwear choices so your feet can do what they’re designed to do.
Final Word
Massage can be a game-changer for plantar fasciitis—but only when combined with strength and movement work.
At MSTT, we help you fix the root cause—not just chase symptoms.
