    No. The point is stopping risky activity before your body forces you to give up less risky activities.

    Again, the OP hasn't even yet indicated what type of workouts she does. Her PF issues may in fact stem from her work environment. Being overweight and being on your feet all day (as occurs in many health care related occupations) are both risk factors for PF on their own.

    Does someone suffering from weight and work triggered PF give up working?

    Or would it not be better to treat the issue?

    Agree she should oook at her options and treatment, but then weigh that up against other optons or activities that may give her the same enjoyment or results. If shes indifferent as to whether she runs, its more the cardio burn she wants, then no harm at looking at other forms of exercise.

    Of course treat the issue. That doesn't mean "run"

    I really don't understand how you read the posts. i don't think anyone *ever* said just "run". I do think people said "take care of it so that you can run *one day* if you still want to".

    I think we're probably interpreting the posts very differently. Just to be safe - OP (if you're there a all), don't run through the pain of PF, that's not what anyone is suggesting you do.

    I am focusing on the realistic odds of actually "taking care of it" given the sprawling mess of the rehab industry (as well as the often contradictory information online) most people face

    If you're research-driven and highly motivated and consistent with your physio exercises, that's great. Makes you unusual, though ime

    Taping my feet to support my fascia and tendons really helped a lot when I was having tendon problems. There are a few youtube videos by podiatrists and physiotherapists on how to properly tape your feet to support plantar facia. I have a number of friends who suffer from this condition chronically (My problem was temporary, due to a medication.) and they recommended taping before any extended time on my feet. It helps a lot. You do not need super special tape (though some of the videos market it). I used masking tape and cloth athletic tape.

    Do see a specialist, but it might be worthwhile to ask to be taught how to tape your feet before unavoidable periods of stress and exercise when you're healed enough to do it.
