Plantar Fasciitis Massage in Grand Junction: Find Lasting Relief That Works
Are You Waking Up With Heel Pain?
If your first steps in the morning feel like you’re stepping on broken glass, you’re not alone. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain—and it’s something I help clients with every week. Whether you're a trail runner, weekend hiker, hair stylist, teacher, or someone on their feet all day, this nagging condition can make your life miserable.
What Exactly Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of connective tissue (the plantar fascia) that runs across the bottom of your foot from heel to toes. When this fascia becomes tight, strained, or develops tiny tears, you’ll feel it—usually as a sharp pain near your heel, especially in the morning or after long periods of standing.
It’s common in people who:
Spend long hours on their feet
Have tight calves or hamstrings
Are active but don’t stretch or recover enough
Wear shoes without proper support
Are recovering from overuse injuries or gait imbalances
The Problem with Just “Pushing Through”
I see so many people who ignore the pain until it starts to affect everything: how they walk, how they stand, even how they sleep. Pain becomes the new normal—and that’s not okay.
Plantar fasciitis doesn’t usually go away on its own. It’s your body waving a red flag, asking for attention and support. That’s where targeted therapeutic massage comes in.
How Therapeutic Massage Can Help Plantar Fasciitis
While ice, stretches, and rest are part of the equation, bodywork can be a game-changer—especially when done consistently and with precision. Here’s how I approach plantar fasciitis in my sessions:
1. Myofascial Release for the Calves, Feet & Posterior Chain
Most plantar fasciitis starts farther up the chain than people realize. Tight calves, hamstrings, glutes—even hips—can all contribute to tension and strain on the plantar fascia. I work to release the entire back body so your feet don’t carry all the stress.
2. Cupping Therapy to Boost Circulation and Free Stuck Tissue
By applying cups to the calves and soles of the feet, we help bring fresh blood to the area and encourage healing. This also helps reduce fascial adhesions that make every step feel stiff and sore.
3. Sound Healing + Breathwork to Calm the Nervous System
Chronic pain doesn’t just live in your muscles—it lives in your nervous system too. By ending each session with a few minutes of restorative sound healing and breath, we help your body shift out of fight-or-flight mode and into healing.
4. Support Between Sessions
I’ll never leave you guessing about what to do between appointments. You'll get guidance on simple, effective stretches, mobility routines, and how to properly roll out your feet at home. These little things, done consistently, help your results last.
