: Has anyone tried Augmented Soft Tissue
: Mobilization Therapy(A.S.T.M.)for
: plantar fasciitis? I recently had
: it done after four months of
: chronic heel pain and it works! I
: am pain-free. It is fairly new and
: is done via physical therapy with
: a physician's order. The therapist
: uses specially designed tools to
: "scrape" along the
: tendons, etc. of the calf, ankle,
: heel and foot, to break up the
: scar tissue and chronic
: inflammation that has developed.
: It then allows new healthy tissue
: to grow. A rather primitive
: concept, but effective.
