Plantar Fasciitis Treatment: Positive Windlass Test, Restricted Hallux Extension.

Описание: Client presented with plantar fasciitis–related heel pain and a positive Windlass Test, indicating plantar fascia involvement. Restricted hallux (big toe) extension further confirmed fascial tightness and impaired dorsiflexion mechanics.

Treatment approach:
✔️ IASTM (Achedaway Scraper) – to reduce soft-tissue restriction and improve tissue glide
✔️ Deep Tissue Release – focused on plantar fascia and calf musculature
✔️ LISPOI / Korean Gua Sha tool – for myofascial mobilization and improving local circulation
✔️ Post-treatment mobility check – restored toe extension and reduced pain

What this means:
Improving hallux extension directly improves the Windlass mechanism, which is essential for proper gait and load transfer during walking and running.

If you have heel pain, restricted toe movement, or suspected plantar fasciitis, consult a qualified doctor or physiotherapist, sports therapist, or medical professional for proper assessment.
