I sufferend from plantar fasciitis and metatarsalgia (pain under ball of foot) about 6 months ago. I didn't do anything about it for the first few months but it just kept getting worse. I was limping and hated walking anywhere. I treated with cold for about 4 days, resting my foot on a cold pack about 3-4 times a day then started using the BFST Wrap (blood flow stimulation therapy). I did the treatment as well as taped the foot and within a month and a half, it was gone. No more limping! The BFST helps any soft tissue injury as it simply promotes more blood flow to the area. Increased blood flow brings more nutrients and more oxygen, accelerating the healing process. Here is where i got my info....very interesting. http://www.kingbrand.com/Plantar_Fasciitis_Treatment.php?REF=1105PV1.192
