There is no diagnosis as of yet but I suspect that he may have plantar fasciatis. He is a soccer player.

Hi Mary,

I would suggest to hold your question until you have a diagnosis. A pain in the arch can also come from problems with the posterior tibialis, and I am sure there may be many other reasons.

Even though we may sometimes have hunches as to the possible cause of pain or injury, a diagnosis is not within our scope of practice.

I would suggest swimming and weight training until a diagnosis is made.

Hello Mary Kershaw,

I would also train differently, by avoiding the injured area, until a diagnosis from a doctor is made. The more an injured area is used, the time it takes to heal will double.
Take care,
Natalie.

I agree with the others. It could be plantar fasciitis, a strain or something else. It could also be that he might need orthotics or even the need for a different soccer shoe. A medical diagnosis will give you the answer you seek.

Best,
Harris

Have the client roll a frozen water bottle under the arch of his foot. This will help relieve any inflammation. You can also use a tennis ball or small SMR ball designed to treat plantar fasciitis.
