If you’re dealing with plantar fasciitis or stubborn heel pain but don’t want to stop running, this video shows you exactly how I recovered while continuing to train.

I break down what actually causes plantar fasciitis, why it often starts higher up the chain in your calves, hamstrings, and quads, and how I reversed two and a half years of pain using a simple but consistent system.

You’ll learn how I adjusted my training, rebuilt strength, and created a nightly recovery routine that finally helped me reduce inflammation and get back to pain free running. This includes the exact tools and methods I used to support long term healing and prevent flare ups while staying active.

Whether you’re a runner, athlete, or just struggling with heel pain, this video will help you understand the root cause and give you a practical path forward without fully stopping movement.
