Segment Three: Michael Czuba- PT, DPT, SCS, ATC, CSCS, from Athletico talks about the benefits of ASTYM�? in treating chronic heel pain (PLANTAR FASCIITIS), related article.
Plantar heel pain is the most common diagnosis for foot & ankle pain, and
approximately 1 in 10 individuals will experience plantar heel pain during the course of
their life. Current research suggests that the underlying pathology behind chronic plantar heel pain is the result of a degenerative process, as opposed to inflammation, which has significant implications for its treatment. The use of Astym�? therapy has been shown to promote cell regeneration and decrease presence of scar tissue resulting in improved ROM, decreased pain, and improved function in several tendinopathies and chronic soft tissue injuries.
The Astym�? system is an evidence-based, non-invasive rehabilitation program that stimulates the body�??s regenerative healing process. The goal of Astym treatment is to encourage the body�??s healing response by helping to rejuvenate muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Athletico�??s certified therapists conduct this effective therapy by using specially-designed instruments to identify areas of dysfunction. The therapist will move the instruments firmly along the skin, in very particular directions. This allows the therapist to recognize the defective soft tissue and help those areas heal.
