The Dubai Foot Recovery Guide: 3 Moves to End Plantar Fasciitis

Why Your Feet Hurt in Dubai

The hard, flat surfaces of Dubai—from marble mall floors to office towers—lack the natural cushioning our feet need. This leads to Plantar Fasciitis, an inflammation of the band that supports your arch.

The Gold Standard Recovery Routine

1. The 'Guitar String' Massage (The Anchor)

Pulling your toes back engages the Windlass Mechanism, making the fascia tight and accessible. By "plucking" across the fibers, you break down adhesions that cause morning pain.

2. The Wall Calf Stretch (The Missing Link)

Your calf muscles (Gastrocnemius) attach directly to the heel. When they are tight, they pull on the plantar fascia like a tether.

• How: Hands on the wall, back leg straight, heel down. Lean in and feel the release.

3. Golf Ball Deep-Tissue Release (The Finisher)

The golf ball’s small surface area allows for precise pressure on the Calcaneal Attachment, where most pain originates.

• Action: Roll with firm pressure and pause on tender spots.

Professional Guidance

"Small pains often lead to bigger problems." If ignored, foot pain can cause compensations in your gait, leading to knee and hip issues. At Co Recare Physio, we specialize in gait analysis and targeted manual therapy to get you back on your feet.
