None of the NHS recommended treatments helped my Plantar Faciitis condition and the pain increased to a level which affected my life style and became debilitating. My salvation came when I found a clinic in Russia which provided me with active physiotherapy care using a combination of low level laser, magneto therapy and ultrasound. These treatments given over a three month period, reduced scar tissue with 5-7 minutes per day laser application followed by 15 minutes magneto therapy to reduce inflammation. The result was less pressure on the capillaries giving increased nutrient flow to the injured heel area which, stimulated by ultrasound, delivered more proteins to the damaged collagen band and cured my PF condition. Nobody in the UK health service seems interested because 'it's not proven' (I quote). But I'm back into power walking each morning at the age of 74. QED
