Study Notes

Common Injury Conditions and Treatment with Positional Release Therapy

Metatarsalgia:

Forefoot pain often caused by overload of plantar foot structures.
Clinician must determine causative factors to sustain releases.
Common signs and symptoms include pain and decreased ability to bear weight.
Common differential diagnoses include Morton's neuroma and metatarsal stress fracture.
Clinician therapeutic interventions include determining root cause, radiograph or MRI, and treatment sequencing.
Patient self-treatment interventions include self-release, PNF stretching, and self-massage.

Plantar Fasciitis:

Arch irritation can activate myotatic reflex and reinitiate inflammatory process.
Clinician must limit reengagement of myotatic reflex to prevent chronic cycle of inflammation.
Common signs and symptoms include pain in medial heel or arch.
Common differential diagnoses include heel spur and calcaneal fracture.
Clinician therapeutic interventions include determining root cause, radiograph, and treatment sequencing.
