: 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.

I am very thrilled to hear it helped you. I will be trying it with a physical therapist in Little Silver, N.J.. She is one of few therapists certified for this procedure in the state if not the only. I'll keep everyone posted as to how successful it is. Right now i have pain constantly and am so anxious for relief.
