Plantar Fasciitis can be a hiker's worst nightmare, especially on a longdistance hike. I've struggled with Plantar Fasciitis on my last thruhike and it almost made me give up. But I managed to heal it while ON the trail and it never came back since.
In this video I'm sharing my tips, what helped me the most to get rid of the heel pain for good and what I do to prevent it.
