From the Author
While the book centers around a 5-minute home program that has been clinically shown to be 94% successful at decreasing pain in people who suffer from chronic plantar fasciitis, it actually provides the reader with far more information than that.

Additionally, plantar fasciitis sufferers will learn what the plantar fascia is, where it is, what the heck it does, how long plantar fasciitis typically lasts, risk factors for developing plantar fasciitis, and what can be done to prevent it from ever coming back again. Also included are the results of an exhaustive literature search I conducted on other commonly used medical treatments for plantar fasciitis- to find out just how effective they really are. Thus, readers will be left knowing once and for all just how effective alternative treatments such as night splints, orthotics, or stretching are according to the medical literature published from 1965 to the present day. In short, I've done all the research so you won't have to!

Written in a large font and non-medical language, my hope is that readers suffering from plantar fasciitis can put this concise book down in about 2-3 hours time and have all the knowledge and tools they need to eliminate this most painful foot condition.
