David Pope and Russell Wright talk about everything to do with feet and ankles.

We cover:

  • causes of plantar fasciosis

  • strengthening of the plantar fascia

  • what exercises work with plantar fasciosis, and which ones are a waste of time

  • nerve entrapments that can be involved in plantar fasciosis, and how to identify these

  • the role of taping and orthotics

  • achilles tendinopathy

  • eccentric programs and progressions

  • keys to successful Achilles rehab

  • ankle sprain rehab – keeping it functional
