= Prevention = Controllable preventative measures, can effectively better prevent Plantar fasciitis.

uncontrollable vs controllable factors
To better prevent Plantar fasciitis understanding differences between controllable and uncontrollable is key. The uncontrollable are; Genetics (’type 1 diabetics,’ can experience stiffening and thickening of the Plantar fascia causing a decrease in range of motion, resulting in the rupture), or working environment (time and surface). The controllable things are; getting tested, monitor amount of running, following shoe replacement guidelines, taking control of health, and nonuse of corticosteroids. Though it is impossible to prevent Plantar fasciitis with certainty, following a few simple tips can help.

Controllable prevention measures
First, it is recommended to get tested using the “footFAST” protocol that was made for high risk individuals, including military and athletic personnel, but can be used for anyone. Based on the results an individual will be placed into a group; no orthotics, orthotic, or specialized orthotic. Next, monitoring the amount of weekly running (<15 miles) can help prevention of overuse. Consciously replacing shoes between 400-600 miles of use, or when they appear worn-out (Figure 2) will help minimize shoes without support. Also, preventing overweight or obesity can help with prevention. Finally, not using Corticosteroids decrease the possibility of an acute rupture because pain is not masked.
